Broadband Equity

You're probably listening to this episode on a high speed internet connection - maybe at work, at home, or on the go via your mobile connection. Internet access feels like a basic right at this point - its the foundation on which people's work and home life is now built. From doing homework to accessing benefits, a strong internet connection feels like a given. So it might surprise you to know that in New York City, more than 1 million people don't have access to high speed internet. In this episode, we unpack the status of New York's broadband equity - the difference between access and availability, who is impacted, and what the state and city are doing to solve the digital divide.
