OneCommunity Helps Close the Digital Divide
One Community certainly gives Akron, Ohio residents a reason to come together. Working to bring economic and civic progress to communities through innovative uses of technology, OneCommunity has some great success stories in its archives and its most recent gives Akron an excellent opportunity to connect.
Last week, the Akron City Council gave the go ahead for an agreement between OneCommunity Akron Mayor Donald L. Plusquellic to create a network that will provide wireless Internet connectivity in an 11-square-mile area of the city. The agreement puts into action the first $250,000 in matching funds from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation’s $500,000 challenge grant.
Akron will also be the new home of the OneCommunity Knight Center for Digital Excellence, which provides resources to spread broadband access programs so that communities can fully participate in today’s digital world.

Thanks for the post. What do you all think of the future of blogging? I have been reading a lot about google’s attempt to gain preferential treatment for its site from internet providers. This will result in their sites being faster than sites owned by individuals and/or smaller comapnies. It’s my beleif that if google is able to succeed there will be far less websites out there and therefore far less blogging.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.

Silicon.com. March 6, 2002. “The digital divide between town and countryside will get wider and the lack of adequate broadband provision is making the situation worse….

Great post! I’m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it’s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case

Thanks for the explanation on this situation! I was just searching for this. ....
In some instances, a specific type of educational background is required. This is certainly true of practitioners in healthcare organizations, for example. We’ve also found this to be the case occasionally in the fields of finance and IT. Even in these cases, however, it is typically specific coursework or certifications that are required, not a degree. .

Why are they closing the Digital Divide? I don’t think they do any mistake. Is it because they can’t sell more digital art so people are closing them? What’s gonna happen with its staff?
The effects of the digital divide is a segment of the population will be locked out of conducting basic functions. Similar to those who have credit cards and those who do not. If you have a credit card, you can get a hotel room, rent a car etc. Make certain reservations. If you don’t, you are stuck.
