The SD Access 4 All program seeks to close the 'digital divide.'
On Tuesday, Mayor Todd Gloria launched a major expansion of the “SD Access 4 All” program with free Wi-Fi at over 300 new locations. According to Mayor Gloria's office, this expansion follows through on his promise to take action to close the digital divide that leaves 53,000 San Diego households with no internet access.
Through the program, the City also purchased hundreds of new laptops and 900 new mobile hotspots that patrons can check out from select libraries. Mobile hotspots are easy-to-use and allow users to connect their laptop, tablet or other web-enabled devices to the internet.
