Connect-to-Compete is a plan announced November 9, 2011 in which businesses and non-profit groups will work together to provide broadband Internet access for low-income people in the United States. 35 million households, about one-third of the total, do not have the service, many of them poor. Persons without broadband have a harder time finding jobs using the Internet.

By Summer 2012, homes in which children qualify for the federal school lunch program will become eligible for $9.95 broadband service. Also as part of the program, Microsoft will also sell PCs with Office Suite for $250.^[1]
