of low-pay Americans the nation over who can't manage the cost of gigabit
broadband. Beginning with its Kansas City market, Google Fiber in the end
arrangements to wire "select" open lodging structures in the greater
part of the urban communities where it works, the organization said.

all part of a more extensive arrangement by the White House went for
interfacing the disengaged. The previous summer, President Obama dispatched a
pilot venture known as ConnectHome that pledged to interface 275,000 low-wage
families to the Internet. As a major aspect of that move, Google Fiber said it
would specifically give free broadband to certain open lodging units.

recording applications electronically surprisingly. In today's computerized
economy, that could have a major effect for some who have generally been
