The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan London Gov has allocated £1.5 million over the next two years to work with #LOTI to tackle #DigitalExclusion and help Londoners access the devices and skills they need to get online: loti.london/projects/covid… #DigitalInclusion #DigitalAccess #DigitalSkills #Digital

One impact of #COVID is that tackling digital exclusion has become more urgent and important than ever. I'm delighted that London Office of Technology and Innovation will be working in earnest with Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, boroughs and partners across public, third and private sectors to make a real dent in this issue

London boroughs and London Councils are part of a vital pan-London mission to close the digital divide and enable all Londoners to access digital skills and opportunities #localgov #COVID19 #digital Georgia Gould London Office of Technology and Innovation Chief Digital Officer for London LGfL♥️

We worked with Your Croydon last year to pioneer the use of the #openaccess model. This allows all four #mobile network operators to access and share street furniture to provide world-class connectivity. You can read more about the project here: freshwavegroup.com/successful-4g-…
