During visits to Knoxville, Tenn., and Dayton, Ohio, Clinton proposed a $100 million plan to expand the reach of the Internet. ``It would lead to an explosion in learning,'' Clinton told a campaign rally in downtown Dayton. In Knoxville, Clinton said he wants to see the day ``when computers are as much a part of classrooms as blackboards.'' The proposal includes giving free Internet service to schools and libraries and upgrading the Internet to make it 100 to 1,000 times faster than the existing system. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
