Join us TONIGHT for the fourth meeting of our @socialists.nyc Tech-AI Justice Reading Group 📚🖥️🌹 In this session, we'll discuss our opportunity to supply all of NYC with affordable internet, taking control from corporate ISPs back into the community 🛜✊🏽 Join us at Bushwick Public Library at 6pm!

Internet for all is possible!Private control of internet access is a bad deal for New Yorkers6 years after NYC sued Verizon for failing to build fiber city-wide in 2014 - leaving out nearly a third of NYC households - the court legally required Verizon to "prioritize the least-connected Community Districts and ensure connectivity for every NYCHA New York City Housing Authority) residential building," as low-income areas were most neglected.'
Spectrum's parent company Charter faced a similar lawsuit after defrauding NYC customers with internet speeds that were up to 80% slower than promised, leading to a payout over $174 million?
NYC also reported that Altice, the fourth-largest cable provider in the US, defaulted its franchise agreement with the city after overcharging customers. Last year Connecticut filed a similar lawsuit against Altice for deceptive billing and advertising practices?
Private interests will always prioritize their own profits, exacting tolls wherever they can while leaving New Yorkers without reliable access to the internet.BETTER, MORE AFFORDABLE MODELS HAVE PROVEN EFFECTIVE ACROSS THE US AND THE WORLD.
