Comcast will roll out over 1,000 Wi-Fi zones in community centers

Comcast will establish over 1,000 free Wi-Fi "lift zones" in community centers throughout the country, the company said on Thursday. The program is designed to help connect low-income families to the internet for educational purposes, as well as remote work and after-school care.

Since 2011, Comcast's Internet Essentials program has "helped connect more than 8 million low-income people to the Internet at home," according to the Comcast blog post. This year is different, however, with many students enrolled in online schooling due to the coronavirus -- and it's showing how the digital divide is impacting students with no broadband connection at home.

The goal is to help students who don't have access to Wi-Fi at home.
