This afternoon (at 3:00), Blandin will be hosting their monthly free webinar. This month’s topic is a continuation of the Digital Inclusion series – Breaking broadband barriers with affordable computers and connectivity. I’m going to start off the session talking about the need for affordable computers and broadband connections. Then we’re hear from folks in the field:

• Sam Drong from PCs for People – they distribute donated computers to people in need.
• Anna Boroff from MNCCA (Minnesota Cable Communications Association) – they have members who have deployed programs to provide affordable broadband to low income customers.

I think it will be an interesting discussion. Please feel free to join us – just register here!

If you want a sneak preview – here are the slides I plan to use:
