UMikhal Marek UMengameli waseMelika uBarack Obama udalule eminye imininingwane mayelana iphrojekthi ebabazekayo I-ConnectED, okufanele inikeze ukufinyelela ku-inthanethi eshesha kakhulu ezikoleni eziningi zaseMelika. U-Obama umemezele ukuthi imali eyizigidi ezingama-750 zamaRandi izoya kulo msebenzi ngokusebenzisa izinhlangano zobuchwepheshe zaseMelika kanye nabasebenzi.
Izinkampani ezinentshisekelo zibandakanya izikhondlakhondla zobuchwepheshe iMicrosoft ne-Apple noma ama-opharetha amakhulu aseMelika i-Sprint ne-Verizon. I-Apple izonikela ngama-iPads, amakhompyutha nobunye ubuchwepheshe obubiza isamba semali engu-$100 million. I-Microsoft ngeke isale ngemuva futhi izonikeza uhlelo lwayo lokusebenza lwe-Windows ngesaphulelo esikhethekile kanye namalayisense amahhala ayizigidi eziyishumi nambili ze-Microsoft Office suite kuphrojekthi.
U-Obama wethule ulwazi olusha mayelana nephrojekthi ye-ConnectED ngesikhathi ekhuluma kwesinye sezikole zaseMaryland ngaseWashington. Ngezizathu zesikole, uphinde waveza iqiniso lokuthi i-Federal Communications Commission yase-United States of America (FCC) ngeke ikhokhise izikole noma yiziphi izimali zosizo lwe-inthanethi eminyakeni emibili ezayo futhi ngaleyo ndlela izobamba iqhaza ekuhlinzekeni nge-inthanethi esheshayo Abafundi baseMelika nabafundi.
UMongameli u-Obama uveze ukuthi i-Apple nezinye izinkampani zobuchwepheshe zizosebenzisa isoftware yazo kanye nehardware ukusiza ukuxhuma izikole eziyi-15 kanye nezigidi ezingama-000 zabafundi bazo ku-inthanethi enesivinini esikhulu eminyakeni emibili ezayo. I-Apple ikuqinisekisile ngokusemthethweni ukubamba iqhaza kwayo kuphrojekthi kumagazini I-Loop, kodwa akazange anikeze noma yiluphi ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nendima yakhe nokubamba iqhaza kwezezimali.
Izinkampani zaseMelika zizosiza iphrojekthi ye-ConnectED ukufinyelela u-99% wazo zonke izikole zaseMelika nge-inthanethi phakathi neminyaka emihlanu ezayo. Ngenkathi uMongameli u-Obama ebeka imigomo yakhe ngoJuni odlule, umfundi oyedwa kwabahlanu kuphela owayekwazi ukuthola i-inthanethi enesivinini esikhulu.
Ngakho-ke mhlawumbe ngeke kuvele njengephrojekthi enhle enomshuwalense wezempilo. Iqiniso lokuthi kunezinkampani ezinkulu ezihilelekile kanye neqiniso lokuthi kungamandla amakhulu ezinkampanini esikhathini esizayo, lapho abafundi bezothola ithuba lokuhlakulela umlutha we-Apple, imikhiqizo ye-MS nokunye okunjalo, kuzophuma kahle.
Ngikhathazekile kancane mayelana nokuhambisana... :-) Hhayi-ke, isenzo esihle kakhulu!
