Several cable companies and the U.S. FCC have launched a program that will assist low-income families in getting access to broadband and low-cost computers. The initiative is part of the FCC's push to increase broadband adoption across the U.S. This particular program, in which such companies as Comcast, Cox Communications, Time Warner Cable and others are participating, is focused on children, specifically those enrolled in the National School Lunch Program.
