  Microsoft, Best Buy to join FCC efforts to spur broadband use
  Microsoft will offer free computer-literacy lessons in schools and libraries in disadvantaged communities across 15 states as part of a pilot program set to be announced today by the Federal Communications Commission, which is seeking to encourage more people to use broadband services. The program also enlists the help of other private companies such as Best Buy, whose tech experts -- known as the Geek Squad -- will provide computer training through service groups, such as Boys and Girls Clubs and 4-H, in 20 cities. The New York Times (tiered subscription model) (10/12), All Headline News (10/12)
