New York Nonprofit Helps Expand Internet Access

NYC Mesh is a nonprofit providing affordable internet to low-income communities in NYC. Volunteers like Danielle Aridia install equipment on rooftops to connect users to a mesh network. The service offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional providers, charging a one-time fee and a small monthly donation. NYC Mesh uses advanced technology to ensure reliable connections, especially important during the pandemic. Volunteers share their experiences and emphasize the community-driven nature of the project.
