      From: malQRMassimilation@gmail.com              Kaylee Tornay of InvestigateWest              CenturyLink customers in Seattle and Portland receive wide-ranging       levels of service for the same price, with poorer residents and people       of color more likely to be burdened by slow speeds, according to a new       analysis of digital inequities in U.S. cities.              Seattle had the worst disparities among cities examined in the Pacific       Northwest. About half of its lower-income areas were offered slow       internet, compared with just 19% of upper-income areas. Addresses in       neighborhoods with more residents of color were also offered slow       internet more frequently: 32.8% of them, compared to 18.7% of areas with       more white residents.              https://kuow.org/stories/poor-and-diverse-areas-of-seattle-and-p       rtland-offered-slower-and-more-expensive-internet              --       (Please remove QRM for direct replies)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
