<p><br>
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>
