Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Working poor families living in underserved urban communities are gaining access to the Internet and attending Information Communication Technologies (ICT) through municipally provisioned broadband and Digital Inclusion (DI) plans. Within this Information Society, new levels of disparities emerge for working poor families threatening greater socio-economic marginalization. Likewise, new possibilities and opportunities for socio-economic mobility and civic participation arise for working poor families. Subsequently, the public policy implications are joint and several. Using an inter-disciplinary, multi-method approach, comparative case studies are offered as the basis of analysis to evaluate municipal broadband policies and DI plans in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Minneapolis and Boston. Non-linear models that estimate disparities between and among working poor families participating in the respective DI plans are presented.
