Closing the gap on the Digital Divide

This article discusses a WI-FI project building that is bringing technology to those who can't afford it. The world is changing and how can those in the inner city keep up if they don't have the technology... A non profit and some help from the city were able to put a community computer center in an empty apartment in the building and help get those with a little money to spare refurbished computers that have wi-fi capabilities. This is a great accomplishment and hope to be involved in initiatives like this in the future.

Philadephia has a wi-fi connection; however, now, Philadelphia has a problem finding a provider because it costs too much to place wi-fi in a city and the city doesn't want to cough of the money.
