Community-Driven Connectivity

A grassroots approach to solving the last mile problem emerges in Detroit, where residents like Ben and Patrick create a mesh network to share limited broadband connections. This initiative evolves into the Equitable Internet Initiative, which formalizes and scales the solution, ultimately partnering with a tier two provider to bypass traditional ISPs like Comcast. This innovative shift not only enhances internet speeds but empowers the community to take control of their connectivity.
