Choosing the Right Internet Connection by Alnisa Allgood of the Nonprofit Tech Association Internet connectivity is a must for any technology center serving the community. The world of Internet connectivity offers an abundance of options, which are outlined below. Knowing your options is just the first step. You also have to decide how to choose among them.

For example, modem access quickly ceases to be an option if your center has more than 10 workstations that will require simultaneous access.
