We had our first meeting with the our Service Learning Partner last week. We are working with the Community Access Program. Our main contact is Daryl Hobbs.
CAP's main goal is to provide low cost internet. The area we are working in (St. Jamestown) has a very high population density. What Daryl wants to do is give all these people free Internet access. This would be funded by advertiser's buying ad space on a splash page that every user would have to view before accessing the Internet.
Daryl also thinks that this will in fact help the ISPs since when people who have access to free internet realize they want faster speeds, they will sign on with an ISP.
Daryl's ultimate goal is to get this program going across all of Toronto. Our main goal as a group is to create a business plan proposing this idea, and why it is viable.
