I'm sure it is aimed at either libraries that didn't already have
broadband, or was a digital divide type initative. The money invariably
came from the library's own budget, as there's only been cutting back,
not new funding from the city.

Any idea where the funding came from to do this. It is
interesting that of the Manhattan libraries only one of
them is in midtown or even close to midtown. It almost
looks like some sort of digital divide initiative.
