About this session
Participants will learn about the Equitable Internet Initiative, a decentralized and collaborative approach across four neighborhoods to end digital inequality in Detroit by building community-governed ISPs and redistributing Gigabit internet to low income communities. They will also learn why this approach ensures that those most marginalized by the digital divide are at the forefront of generating the solutions.
Goals of this session
The goal is to share how a grassroots and decentralized approach to address Internet access in Detroit, one of the country’s worst connected cities, is working to end digital inequality through the Equitable Internet Initiative.
