The Digital Divide

As each day passes on, the divide is growing larger. Those that have easy access to the internet can gain information and conduct business that those that do not have easy internet access can not. At Y-FI, our aim is to assist in reducing this divide.

Next American City: The Digital Divide

Most readers of Next American City take the Internet for granted, a utility like running water or electricity. You e-mail at work and communicate with colleagues using instant messenger; you check blogs for the latest news or gossip. At home, you download music or movies, pay bills online or Google old friends. Civic life, too: instructions on obtaining a marriage license, the date school starts for the kids, how much the house next door sold for and how it will affect your property value, all can be found on city websites. Heck, if you want the city to fix a pothole, you send the info over the Internet.  (Read the rest of the article here…)

At Y-FI we are continuing to search and develop partnerships that that will get our free internet service into the homes and onto the computers of those that most need it.  If you, your business or a community organization wants to partner with Y-FI to bring free wifi internet to your neighborhood PLEASE contact us.
