Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) plans to conduct a pilot program for low-income senior citizens in San Francisco as part of its Internet Essentials low-income broadband adoption program.
The pilot program for low-income seniors is designed to better understand the challenges of helping them cross the digital divide and learn how to use the Internet. It will be developed in partnership with the San Francisco Department of Aging and Adult Services, the city’s SF Connected Senior’s Digital Literacy training collaborative, and their three main nonprofit training partners: Self-Help for the Elderly, Community Technology Network, and the Community Living Campaign, in addition to other nonprofits.
A separate pilot program was announced on Aug. 4 for low-income seniors living in Palm Beach County, FL.
