        <p><i>On 22 September at 14:00 UTC, join this online dialogue
            about an upcoming report focused on community connectivity
            providers – community networks, municipal networks and
            social enterprises building digital equity across the world.

          We are pleased to invite you to the launch of the <i>“Financing
            mechanisms for locally-owned internet infrastructure</i>”
          report, a new study that documents and analyzes the operating
          models and financing mechanisms that can enable community
          connectivity providers to expand internet access and build
          digital equity. <br>
          <br>
          Across the world, a growing number of community networks,
          municipal networks and social enterprises are successfully
          connecting those who have historically been unserved or
          underserved, especially in the areas where traditional
          for-profit companies choose not to invest. While these
          community connectivity providers are building solutions to the
          persistent digital divide, almost all of them struggle to
          access capital.<br>
          <br>
          This publication will provide an overview of various network
          models while giving a deep look at how they can be financed
          sustainably to provide reliable, affordable internet to
          communities.<br>
          <br>
          The online launch will bring together experts and builders to
          discuss the report and strategies that can fund
          community-centered initiatives. It will also be an opportunity
          to learn more about case studies featuring concrete
          experiences and discuss recommendations for policymakers,
          funders and network builders.<br>
          <br>
          The “<i>F</i><i>inancing mechanisms for locally-owned internet
            infrastructure</i>” report comes from a partnership between
          Internet Society, Association for Progressive Communications,
          Connectivity Capital and Connect Humanity. <br>
