community Internet initiatives

Community Internet initiatives are projects aimed at providing affordable or free Internet access to local communities, especially underserved or rural areas. These initiatives often involve local governments, nonprofits, or residents working together to build and maintain infrastructure like Wi-Fi networks or internet hotspots. The goal is to improve access to information, education, and economic opportunities, fostering greater social inclusion. By empowering communities to develop their own connectivity solutions, these initiatives can reduce digital divides and ensure that more people benefit from the digital age.
