I know that HN likes to solve problems, but I don't think spending time debating the best mechanism to provide internet access to a population that many of us don't understand is worthwhile.

How about someone spend some time learning about best ways to rehabilitate criminals and whether internet access should be a part of that? (I'm poking fun that most of us have science, engineering, design backgrounds instead of Criminal Justice degrees).

It's easy to armchair quarterback a two sentence solution, but I doubt anyone leaving comments is going to change career paths into 'Correctional Facility IT'.
