For the poor and poorly-educated, their involvement in the broadband economy is restrained by these barriers:

1. Would you consider free wireless Internet access in public spaces beneficial in our community of Golden Hill? Why?

Based on 21 completed surveys, here is how the surveyors respond to WHY?
