AT&T offering $5 internet to low-income families | New York's PIX11 / WPIX-TV:
"SAN FRANCISCO — AT&T will start offering discounted internet access to low-income families for as low at $5 a month.
Any home where at least one person receives food stamps will be eligible for the new program, called Access from AT&T.
The offering is part of an agreement AT&T made with the FCC as part of last year’s DirectTV merger and will be available until 2020.
The company is the latest to offer discounted internet to low-income households in the United States, joining Comcast, Google Fiber, and some local government and nonprofit.
...In March, the FCC voted to expand its Lifeline program and add a $9.25 subsidy that could go toward broadband internet for low-income households. 
Another government initiative called ConnectALL wants to bring internet access to 20 million homes by 2020.
Access from AT&T will offer 3Mbps connections for $5 a month, and faster 5Mbps or 10Mbps connections for $10 a month.
All installation and equipment fees will also be waived.
...To spread the word about the program, AT&T says it will work with community organizations on education. 
The pool of potential customers is deep. AT&T currently offers internet in 21 states, and there are 22 million families signed up for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which offers food stamps."
