F.C.C. Approves Broadband Subsidy for
Low-Income
Households
WASHINGTON --
The Federal Communications Commission
approved a $9.25 monthly broadband subsidy
to help millions of low-income households
connect to the Internet, in a move aimed
at bridging the digital divide.
••••
The vote went 3-2
along party lines to expand a 3-decade-old
program that subsidizes phone service for
people who cannot afford it.
••••The
vote ensures that "Americans can access
the dominant communications platform of
the day," said Tom Wheeler, the chairman
of the F.C.C.
••••Now
consumers will be able to apply the
monthly Lifeline subsidy to broadband
service or a bundled voice-and-data
package from an Internet service provider.
The Internet service could be wired or
wireless and the FCC anticipates the new
option will be available Dec. 1.

A h
h h . . . Spring in
Cannes…where mild breezes blow as the
warm Mediterranean sun smiles over this
beautiful spot on the Cote d'Azur. There
you can feel a timeless sensuality,
assuaging a nostalgia for the
Mediterranean which since as far back as
the 16th century has been a constant theme
in many a Northern European's
life.
•
•
"Now give us lands
where the olives grow," Cried the North to
the South, "Where the sun with a golden
mouth can blow blue bubbles of grapes down
the vineyard row!" Cried the North to the
South. (to borrow a phrase from the
English writer Elizabeth Barret
Browning).
•
•
"Cannes," wrote
Charles Lentheric, the indispensable and
erudite historian of maritime Provence, in
1880, "is a town where you feel no need to
work," and "where the inhabitants were not
interested in the world that lay beyond
their shady gardens, or the sheltered
balconies of their hotels."
•
•
Now the world has
come to Cannes, chosen it to be their
Mediterranean queen for its annual events,
and when you stroll along the Croisette on
some warm April day you will hardly share
Mr. Lenteric's sentiments. Voila! Cannes!
It has emerged so
cosmopolitan.
