Learning Through Broadband

With broadband, no longer should any American's opportunities be limited by geography. Rural schoolchildren can take advanced placement courses hundreds of miles away. Working parents can pursue a degree after putting the kids to bed—from the convenience of home. With the cost of a college education rising rapidly, broadband offers convenient affordable alternatives to diverse Americans seeking to advance their opportunities through education. 85% of kids say they use the Internet to help them do better in school. 95% of newly created jobs demand computer skills.
