Daily News: Wi-fi Philly's laptop leap - 5 get free computers, giving breath to city's wireless dream:
Five welfare-to-work women in West Kensington just became the first city residents to earn free laptops and Internet service from Wireless Philadelphia, the mission of which is to connect low-income workers to the Web so they can get better jobs and provide better lives for their families.The five women represent the tiny start of Wireless Philadelphia's citywide dream.
The nonprofit's high-tech partner, EarthLink, currently has made 25 of the city's 135 square miles wireless - from Spring Garden north to Temple University, West Kensington and Feltonville, along with growing patches in West Philadelphia along Lancaster Avenue and in Southwest Philly along Baltimore Avenue.
Gathered at Impact Services Corp., the welfare-to-work agency on Allegheny Avenue near 19th Street where they earned their wireless bundles by holding a steady job for a year, the five women are the first to receive a high-tech makeover that Wireless Philadelphia hopes to give to 500 low-income workers by year's end, thousands in years to come.
"Access to information is access to opportunity," said CEO Greg H. Goldman while Chief Operations Officer Agnes Ogletree's eyes welled up at finally seeing three years of plans realized.
