Bringing Broadband To Harlem

Posted on January 6, 2009 by | Leave a comment

Internet

For the urban poor, service may be available, but many families can’t afford the $30 to $50 it costs each month to get broadband. Many also lack computers at home. Among households with an annual income of $50,000 or less — about half the country — only 35 percent have broadband service, according to Free Press, a technology advocacy group.

Anthony Celestine was a latecomer to the Internet Age. The 40-year-old Harlem resident has owned a small Jani-King commercial cleaning franchise since 2004, but until recently, the New Yorker hadn’t owned a computer or even surfed the Web or had an e-mail address. “I didn’t know what none of that stuff was,” he says…

Posted on December 31, 2008 by | 1 Comment
Civitium, LLC, a consulting firm for community broadband initiatives, has been retained to perform a wireless broadband feasibility study for the community of Harlem.

Posted on December 28, 2008 by | Leave a comment

Wait! Don’t toss out your beautiful flat panel display — even if there are a plethora of ways to enjoy your favorite shows without a TV. What you can kick is your $30 a month (or more) cable subscription and digital video recorders. With the tanking economy, why spend a minimum of $360 a year to access all those shows that are too bad to watch? It may not be perfect (or live), but it is now possible to survive solely off digitally delivered television. Any shows that are not available for free can be picked up piecemeal from a variety of vendors. So cozy up to your laptop or hook that old PC to your television set, because here are some ways you can access content via the Internet.

Cost: Free

Hulu.com, the streaming-video love child of NBC Universal and News Corp., is one of the best places on the Web to find free video content. While Fox and NBC have contributed the bulk of the media, some Comedy Central programming and movies from the likes of MGM, Warner Bros. and Universal are also available. New television episodes usually appear the day after they air, but the licensing contracts vary by show. All the content is free, but you will have to suffer through advertising spots.
