.......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... ..........FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — In a remote, roadless Arizona canyon that is home to a small Native American tribe, there’s a natural skepticism toward the internet.The telemedicine equipment that health care officials promised would work gathers dust. School children who have online homework struggle to get online. And streaming a web-based conference or taking classes remotely? Well, “that’s a lot of luck you’d have to get,” said Ophelia Watahomigie-Corliss, who sits on the Havasupai Tribal Council.Things started to change after a small company approached the tribe with a plan to broaden coverage for educational use. It’s now using the experience to help push the federal government to give tribes priority for broadband spectrum largely unassigned across the … [Read more...] about Tribes across country push for better internet access

Comcast Corp. may have gotten its start selling cable television, but its “lead product” today is high-speed internet connectivity, not video, a top company executive said Friday.The Philadelphia-based entertainment giant, which also owns the NBC television network, Universal theme parks and is the nation’s largest cable provider, sees internet access as its most important product, said David Cohen, Comcast’s senior executive vice president and chief diversity officer. He was in Colorado Springs for Comcast Cares Day on Saturday, when more than 100,000 employees volunteer to help with more than 1,300 projects.Cohen has been with Comcast since 2002 and is responsible for corporate communications, government and regulatory affairs, public affairs, legal affairs, corporate administration, corporate real estate and security, and community impact, as well as serving as a senior counselor to the CEO.

In St. Louis’ Digital Divide, North City Suffers from Poor Internet Access
ILLUSTRATION BY EVAN SULT Areas north of Delmar show little Internet connectivity. See a complete map, and our key, below. The Delmar Divide is also a digital divide. According to an analysis of data recently released by the U.S. Census Bureau, St. Louisans’ access to the internet differs drastically north and south of the boulevard. Released in the last weeks of 2018, the Census Bureau's 2013-2017 American Community Survey for first time includes highly specific information about who has access to the internet and who doesn’t. According to the survey, of the roughly 36,000 St. Louis city households north of Delmar, about 16,000, or 44 percent, have no internet access at all. An additional 3,000 have access only via cellular data. Crunch the same numbers for the 101,000 city households south of Delmar and the percentage of those that are unconnected drops by more than half to 20 percent. The areas of poorest coverage, what are sometimes called digital … [Read more...] about In St. Louis’ Digital Divide, North City Suffers from Poor Internet Access
Cuba To Get Full Internet Access By Phone, Opening Western Freedoms Slightly More
World They’re literally on an island, isolated from most of the world. That’s how it’s been for the people of Cuba for more than half a century, even in the last 20 years when the internet began connecting folks from almost every remote corner of the planet. Though citizens of this Communist-run island nation have enjoyed somewhat limited internet access over the last few years, Cuba announced its people can begin using full internet access on their phones starting Thursday. But only at limited usage until the 3G network is ready. Mayra Arevich, the president of Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba S.A. (ETECSA), the telecommunications monopoly on the island, went on national TV Tuesday to announce the news. The rollout will happen in stages between Thursday and Saturday to avoid an overload of users and potential outages. Gaining full internet access on a phone may seem archaic in the States, but in Cuba, it’s been a work in progress. The nation finally … [Read more...] about Cuba To Get Full Internet Access By Phone, Opening Western Freedoms Slightly More
