This could be beneficial in poorer communities. As a person that grew up in a poor family in a poor neighborhood I'm of the belief that a decent Internet connection can be a major contribution to those that want to improve their lives. I also think that taking it a step further and teaching those individuals just how to find what they're looking for on the Internet would have even more effect.

And the middle class gets fucked in the ass again.

I'd disagree with that. I'm now what would be considered middle class and I wouldn't feel fucked in the ass because I did not receive for free what others did. I'm in a good position to pay for my Internet connection, and whilst I take a bit of umbrage with what Comcast charges for it, in the end it's a service I want and am willing to pay for.

I'd also say that this service should probably be heavily filtered. I support its use as a means of education, not entertainment.
