Internet Archive Brings Free Ultra High-Speed Internet to Public Housing

San Francisco

The Internet Archive, a San Francisco-based organization 
dedicated to preserving a record of the Internet and to increasing access 
to the Internet, today began offering free Internet service to public 
housing projects at speeds far greater than any other city resident can 
receive.

Valencia Gardens Housing, with 240 units, is the first area to be 
connected in a pilot project that expects to wire more than 2,500 units in 
the city in the next eight months, according to Internet Archive founder 
Brewster Kahle.
