Comcast to Provide 35K Philly Households With Internet Ahead of All-Virtual Schooling
“About 35,000 Philly households — with about 50,000 city school students — will be connected to the internet, and given digital skills training and tech support, ahead of an all-virtual start to the school year. Comcast, the city and several foundations are supporting the effort to connect households with children in Philly’s public, charter and Independence Mission Catholic schools. The initial focus will be on households with K-12 students and no internet access or only mobile phone access, or on people who are homeless and housing insecure.”
