ogWiFi at Make Poverty History

September 25, 2007

ogWiFi has been invited to participate at this event. 

I think wireless internet is a way for people with a low income to share the cost of access to the net.  There are a number of organizations that refurbish old computers and get them into people’s homes but once there, there is no connectivity.  A couple weeks ago i tried to use a library community access point.  The main public library has 40 computers, to get onto one, you have to book that day to maybe get a 2 hour time slot. Hardly enough for some to get their homework done and blog and if you are working odd full time hours the computers are not at all accessible.
