Los Angeles Business Journal, January 28, 2016: Charter to Give Fast Internet to Low-Income Customers
“During the session, Charter discussed plans to provide affordable Internet service for some of Southern California’s poor residents, a key selling point for community group leaders in attendance. Charter pledged to begin offering low-income students and seniors a $14.99-a-month high-speed Internet service plan within six months of the merger closing. The plan would offer Internet speeds at around 30 megabits per second, higher than what is typically offered in lower-priced Internet plans available to poor consumers.”
