FOR ACCESS TO COMMUNITY INFORMATION</span>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><br>
[SOURCE: Federal Communications Commission, AUTHOR: Press
release]</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><br>
In a new, nationwide contest, communities and software
developers will compete to develop software applications
("apps") that get personalized, actionable information to
people least likely to take advantage of the digital
revolution.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> The Apps for Communities Challenge is part
of the FCC's and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation's
efforts to foster digital inclusion and promote broadband
adoption. Details are posted at
<a href="http://Appsforcommunities.challenge.gov" target="_blank">Appsforcommunities.challenge.gov</a>. The Apps for Communities
Challenge seeks to take advantage of the local, public
information coming online - on topics from education to health
care, child care, government services and jobs - and make it
easily accessible to the public. Contestants will be asked to
turn that information into content, apps and services that
expand people's choices on critical issues. These apps could,
for example, give people valuable information about their
communities in an easily digestible graphic on their mobile
devices; help seniors, immigrants, and others use tools such
as Skype to communicate; allow consumers to choose a health
care provider; or deliver contract and seasonal job post
alerts in English and Spanish via text message.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> Knight Foundation is offering $100,000
dollars in prizes, with additional prizes awarded to the best
apps that reach and engage traditionally underserved
communities-people with disabilities, seniors, and those whose
first language is not English.<br>
