If they need help getting a site up let me know, I'm sure I can fit some volunteer work for the cause into my 70 hour workweek . . .

Maybe I need to scream a little louder. Harold, you have been the voice of reason in this, but yes, maybe the language does need to change to give this issue immediacy in the eyes of women. Hopefully my two cents at least brought some awareness of it to the fore.

Fascinating, given that the gender gap in use of broadband has pretty much evaporated. I wonder if it is a messaging issue? As usual, we need to put this in terms that people understand how it changes their lives rather than in the abstract language of policy. Is broadband policy really a gender issue?
