Senior Vice President of Military and Veterans Affairs for Comcast, Brigadier General (Ret.) Carol Eggert, wanted to make sure the student veterans, educators and community and business leaders in attendance were aware of Internet Essentials, the company’s national broadband adoption program that provides low-cost internet service and free digital literacy training classes and resources to qualified individuals and families. Comcast expanded eligibility for the Internet Essentials program to low-income veterans and their families in August 2018.
