If you want to narrow the "Digital Divide"
This would create a new digital divide . . . those who pay for their Internet usage . . . and those who don't.
First come public housing . . . and then city shelters . . . who's next . . . ?
This deal is great for Comcast . . . they will get new subscribers, who would otherwise have not signed up with them. The costs will be passed on to paying customers.
This deal is great for the NYC government . . . because city agencies will not have to pay for their Internet anymore. Again, the costs will be passed on the paying customers.
People complain about their Comcast bills every month anyway . . . why not just squeeze them a little more, and just let them complain anymore.
I can easily see who this proposal will benefit. Can you spot who loses on this deal . . . ?
