My buddy was at Case Western back in 2007/8ish and worked on that One Community project. He called it 'porn for the poor'.

There were all these utopian ideas getting floated about how revolutionary the idea was and that basically lack of high speed internet access was the only thing keeping all these people in poverty.

If we just gave the poor fast internet access as a public service then they would all learn to code, get remote jobs, and raise themselves out of poverty.

Months into the experiment they discovered that no one used the free job training features that came with the internet access and instead they were just using it for porn and piracy.
