Our final roundtable of the day is focused on the future of public internet with @philly_wireless! #TLCDigitalEquity

A great question being discussed in our final roundtable with @philly_wireless, which we’d love to hear from you on… How would your life be different if the internet were publicly available in most areas of your city? Let us know below 👇

“Like many others said employment rates are very heavily tied to language… and we found that device and internet access are core priorities in our community.” - Christine Nieves of Esperanza #TLCDigitalEquity

And we’re already onto our last session of the day!! #TLCDigitalEquity

“Our goal as a city is to really make sure that digital equity can be embedded in a number of places and can be sustained beyond the current time” - Juliet Fink-Yates, City of Philadelphia Office of Innovation and Technology #TLCDigitalEquity
