West Virginia participants in Frontier’s Lifeline Broadband Pilot program, who opt to partake inndigital literacy training, will be directed to Future Generations, Frontier told FCC officials in a letter Mondayn(http://bit.ly/11npJCq). Frontier has decided to use Future Generations, a “prominent digital literacynproponent” in West Virginia, rather than Mission West Virginia, which Frontier had identified as its digitalnliteracy partner on its pilot program application. “Future Generations is a non-profit organization thatnleverages its connections to provide digital literacy training in firehouses that have been made into communityncenters throughout the State,” Frontier said. Future Generations is also a grantee of the BroadbandnTechnology Opportunities Program for its digital literacy program, Frontier said. “A partnership with FuturenGenerations is completely consistent with the Commission’s program goals,” Frontier said, expectingnthe new partner to be a “valuable” addition to the pilot program. A Frontier spokeswoman told us that thencompany has worked with Future Generations on past projects, and using them now was "a natural continuationnof our partnership."
