Kelly Dunne, president and CEO of One Economy, talks about their efforts to bring broadband to low-income communities, both here and in other countries. He explains that One Economy takes a comprehensive approach to helping drive demand for broadband among these groups. He says that it is important to bridge the gap, before it gets wider, between those who can afford and those who can't afford broadband. He explains how One Economy's ARRA stimulus grant, combined with their corporate sponsorships, will enable some 27,000 households to have broadband.

The future of the Internet – and online video – will be decided by lawmakers in 2009 and 2010: will the Internet be neutral, open, competitive and fast enough for ubiquitous high-def video? Will the US continue to fall behind the rest of the world in broadband speed and affordability? Will the 40% of Americans without broadband bridge the digital divide? Will there be a place for critical journalism and independent video in a digital America?speaker: Josh Silver — Executive Director, Free Press

LifeLines, a technology-based helpline service, is helping initiate a small revolution-of-sorts in the lives of rural communities in India by enabling them with access to critical knowledge and livelihood information just on the dial of a phone. An initiative of the OneWorld International Foundation, in collaboration with British Telecom and Cisco, the Lifelines service, was introduced as a digital – inclusion initiative to help developing-world communities bridge the digital divide and better their livelihood and income opportunities. The service is based on the premise of leveraging ICTs – a mix of internet and telephone technologies - to enable the provision of essential information, advice and guidance to remote and rural communities in India through the medium of “voice” and “in the local language.”
