The nonprofit bringing high-school broadband into the modern era

Now, using his non-profit, "the best (schools) are paying less than two dollars per megabit" per month, for an order of magnitude in savings, he says.

U.S. schools are getting a bad deal on their broadband service, but a startup non-profit founded by a successful tech entrepreneur is trying to change that.

The change can’t come soon enough, says Evan Marwell, CEO and founder of Education Superhighway, which procures Internet equipment and broadband service for a growing number of this country’s 100,000 public schools.

Its mission is "to connect schools to fiber and classrooms to Wi-Fi."
