Default Call to give homeless broadband in UK

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister believes digital technology could be a lifeline for people on the streets.

It says many homeless people already use the internet and mobile phones to look for work and accommodation.

And it wants to build on this by encouraging homeless hostels and community centres in deprived areas to install broadband access.

I seem to remember that Philadelphia had a similar program and that there was one proposed for San Francisco. Anyone know anything about it?
