Part 4/10:
Amidst this disenfranchisement, a grassroots movement in New York City has emerged as a beacon of hope. Volunteers led by Brian Hall, a co-founder of NYC Mesh, are challenging the status quo by building community-controlled internet infrastructure.
NYC Mesh is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding affordable internet service, particularly in underserved neighborhoods. Its core principle: community ownership and collective effort to reclaim control over connectivity. This initiative is not just about providing cheaper internet but also about empowering residents to bridge the digital divide.
