Internet Innovation Alliance Launches IIA en Espanol on Website
Nov 09, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
The Internet Innovation Alliance (IIA) announced it has launched "IIA en Espanol," a section of the website designed to serve as a resource on broadband and technology-related information for Spanish language communities.
According to Internet Innovation, the content includes studies and facts about broadband, developments with IIA Members and Ambassadors from the Hispanic community and news related to the Internet industry, all available in Spanish at internetinnovation.org/Spanish.
IIA, a broad-based coalition of business and non-profit organizations, aims to ensure that every American has access to broadband Internet and hopes to reach the more than 45 million Spanish-speaking Americans with information about the transformative benefits of broadband.
"Broadband, or high-speed Internet, has the power to strengthen all communities by equalizing and enabling resources for employment, health care, education and civic engagement," said David Sutphen, IIA co-chairman. "The Hispanic-American population has the fastest growing presence online with household broadband adoption having jumped from 47 percent in 2007 to 68 percent of English-speaking Hispanics in 2009. They have a voice in the future of broadband and we welcome them to join our discussion."
"The wealth of information on the Internet is available equally to all people regardless of age, race or social status," explained IIA Founder and Co-Chairman Bruce Mehlman. "Despite the fact that these resources are online, they won't be helpful for those who are not."
