President Obama on Tuesday announced that technology companies had pledged $750 million in equipment and services that would help connect students to the Internet.
USA Today reports:
"Money from Apple, Microsoft, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and other companies, combined with $2 billion from the Federal Communications Commission, will help connect up to 15,000 schools and 20 million students.
"These businesses 'want educated customers,' Obama told students and faculty at a Maryland high school that provides students with iPads. 'They want customers who are able to get good jobs, who are going to be using these tools in the future.'"
