PSA has noted over the years, that solving problems such as created by poverty, or by inadequate public services such as failing educational institutions, or inadequate healthcare, or poor quality nutrition (including fast foods), or negative ingrained behavioral patterns such as poor parenting and violence in the home, or by lack of True Broadband Access and other forms of basic needs such as we often term infrastructure…

Did we leave anything out? Seems so overwhelming …but the above are ALL CONNECTED. Problem-solving Initiatives can’t move ahead by solely focussing on one piece of the puzzle. Rather a connected series of programs is required or, at minimum, one that takes into consideration more than just one set of factors.

This is one reason PSA strongly supports community schools, where numerous concerns noted above might be addressed in “one go”.

Many of the above concerns are applicable across social classes, others affect one or two classes. The timelines for most concerns being addressed are lengthy, but that doesn’t mean there’s no way to make progress either. For example, rolling out broadband access via FiberOptical cables and then adding on the modulating and Last Mile and To-The-Home portions of the network hardware, is a project of years, not months. Yet there’s no point in not getting started as soon as we can.

Below, the thought is that alternative energy added to high-speed broadband initiatives will create synergies that aid communities,
