OK I guess I’ve been living under a rock for the last 10 months – I just found out about APT’s Broadband Changed My Life contest. Heck, living in Dublin while working in Minnesota I could have been a contenda!
The contest is long over – but the winners are posted on their web site and they are great. Here are a couple of my faves:
- Diane from California: “Broadband gave me wings. I am a physically disabled pastor in a all rural area. Broadband let me compare, spec and purchase a power wheelchair. Since my insurance won’t pay, saving $3000 was very important to me.”
- Cindy from CA: “Broadband internet has helped tremendously, for several of my prerequisite nursing classes are available online. This has freed up countless hours. Instead of scrambling for daycare and driving to and from the college campus, I can sit outside with my laptop, and wireless router, watch my children play as I am attending classes!”

FYI, the Broadband Changed My Life contest is up and running again, this time with a deadline of October 1, 2008.
Tell the next president how Broadband Changed your Life and win $1,000 and a trip to Washington for the Innaugural Ball. Second and third prizes receive $500 and $250 respectively as well.
Take 5 minutes and Tell the Next President how important broadband is!
