Comcast To Fund African-American Broadband Initiative

The Comcast Foundation said it will make a $50,000 grant to the National Black Caucus of State Legislators (NBCSL) in an effort to foster greater adoption of broadband Internet services within African American homes. The NBCSL/Comcast Broadband Legislative Fellowship will help spearhead efforts to develop recommendations to Congress and the Federal Communications Commission as they develop national and local solutions to alleviate disparities in broadband access, adoption, and use.
