On Thursday September 22 2022 at 14:00 UTC, partners the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), Connect Humanity, Connectivity Capital, and the Internet Society will host a report launch webinar ‘Financing mechanisms for locally-owned internet infrastructure’. This new study documents and analyzes the operating models and financing mechanisms that can enable community connectivity providers to expand internet access and build digital equity. The online launch will bring together experts and network builders to discuss the report and strategies that can fund community-centred internet networks. It will also be an opportunity to learn more about successful case studies and discuss recommendations for policymakers, funders and network builders.
