  • YES!!! This is awesome. Internet should be free for all in my opinion. Good job on the story.
  • Groundbreaking for sure! Well captured too as usual

  • Every town and city should go with free wi-fi for its citizens. Greenlight.

  • Good job. Greenlight!
  • Great topic.
    But I think more background on the internet is necessary.
    It would be good to explicitly state how the internet and its information can be a valuable resource. How the poor could use it to their advantage. And how disadvantaged they can be with out it.

    I think some statistics could also strengthen this pod.

    Considering the percentage of “minorities” that live under the poverty line and in such areas; this topic boils down to institutionalized racisms/ classism.
    Wikipidia definition:
    Structural or institutional classism is a passive form of classism that occurs when institutions or common practices are structured in such a way as to effectively exclude or marginalize people from lower classes,

    Lets take the example of African Americans.
    The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves. They were free but considerably disadvantaged because the white majority had all the land, companies, money and business connections. But has the US eve done anything to compensate for this…..NO.
    It has instead institutionalized racism to a point where it is acceptable.
    But I find it unacceptable.

    Great pod…I just think it can be even greater.

  • Great story! I gave you guys the greenlight because you had all the elements working in your piece. I LOVE the fact that you showed business people that were working with the people in the community to give low income people access which is empowerment. I live outside of DC and we have no free wi-fi here like we did when I lived in New York City. The program to give people free computers upon taking three courses is BaNaNaS!!! How do we get that program here? This was a better news story than my 5 o'clock news channels provide.

  • So glad that this is being done! Thanks for making this pod.
  • Great story! It was nice you even got an interview from Mrs. Schwarzenegger... Just out of curiosity, if you even know the answer, if it's picked to air, would you need an appearance release from her since she's a public figure??
  • Big things a'gwan...Incredible story! The public needs to know about this project and it needs to be replicated in communities across the nation. The digital divide IS a reality and the gap needs to be bridged. Great work Kevin & Johnny...keep bringing the realness from the root level. Each one teach one!

  • Good piece, I'm glad you were out there covering this event, so a larger audience can know what is going on. Green Light
  • This is great to see! I hope more projects like this pop up all over the globe!
  • much better then the "cat on a toilet" videos you find on certain other user generated sites.

    much love!
  • this is great.. how about they make this free for everyone..along with water.

  • Let's get this on TV! GL!

    This can inspire all the communities that are left out to join the digital revolution and help the playing field to level out just a little bit more.

    Please check out Sister Beatrice maybe she can come out and explore that community after they've been connected for a while see how its changed things !
  • Excellent idea!

    Just get your president to stop spending all your money on a war that has not given the answers that everyone has questions to!

  • nice pod, good story GL!

    If you get a chance, check out "Current Promo V2.0"
  • Very educational and well produced - put it on TV!

  • Great pod. I hope it gets on TV. I'm impressed that you were able to interview such prominent politicians. Keep up the good work. GL
  • Sweet POD and very informative, thanks.
  • Yo Epp's love your stuff man. Check out S.F. Die In, it's a protest pod: <a href=" http://www.current.com/watch/28212029">link<...
  • Great job! The more people who know about and can support initiatives like this one, the better! The pod itself is very comprehensive extremely well put together! Kudos!

  • So Current...what is up with not having this on TV yet? This is a great look into positive activity in lower income communities. And it actually shows politicians doing great things.

    Audio is great, editing is clean, and it is educational...what is the problem here folks?
  • YEah, let's get this on TV! Interesting and informative pod!
  • This is definitely TV worthy. Hope other such
    communities can catch up with the idea soon.

  • dope story. i wasnt feeling shrivers attitude though. keep it hood.
  • I love this story! I get the vibe that Shriver's manager forced her to be there though. You know, community service to help the celeb.
  • This is a good pod, it shows how things like free wi-fi can be easily. The key issue is the education and the training to allow people the chance to actually use the Internet properly.

    Great job.

    That training looks great, in time this will be the norm.

    GL from me.

    Please take a moment to check out my latest POD, <a href=" http://www.current.tv/watch/22026443">BIG MEDIA fails again</a> and feel free to give it a GL if you like it.

    Thanks.
  • Very informative and well shot.
