Comcast is looking to expand programs similar to this
Comcast's Internet Essentials program has provided low-cost broadband Internet access and digital training to more than 1,920 people in West Virginia since 2011.
A household can utilize the program if it has at least one child eligible for the National School Lunch Program, has not subscribed to Comcast Internet service within 90 days and does not have an overdue Comcast bill or unreturned equipment. Initially planned as a three-year program, Comcast Executive Vice President David L. Cohen recently announced the program will continue indefinitely.

Obama Calls for Secure Online-Identity System
President Barack Obama unveiled an ambitious proposal Friday urging the private sector to create a trusted-identity system to boost consumer security in cyberspace.
Digital rights groups cautiously welcomed the first-of-its-kind government proposal, calling it a blueprint for increased internet security and privacy, as the nation drifts to the virtual world to take care of basic needs from grocery shopping to paying taxes and dating.
