New York City Launches 'Get Online NYC' Digital Equity Campaign

New York City's Office of Technology and Innovation launched the 'Get Online NYC' campaign in April 2026, featuring an interactive map of hundreds of free computer labs, public Wi-Fi hotspots, and digital literacy resources across the five boroughs. The campaign targets an estimated 400,000 NYC households without home internet access — disproportionately low-income, elderly, and immigrant communities. The initiative integrates NYC's Big Apple Connect free broadband program, library-based digital skills classes, and low-cost device access under a unified public outreach effort, positioning New York as a model for how wealthy cities can systematically address internal digital divides within high-income country contexts.
