Free high speed internet extended three years for low income New Yorkers

A free high speed internet program benefitting New Yorkers in NYCHA buildings will go for at least another three years. It was set to run out later next year but the Adams administration says it's being extended. The Big Apple Connect program was helping provide broadband to hundreds of thousands of low income residents. Under the extension, Optimum and Spectrum will also provide free digital training at libraries throughout the five boroughs. The new contract runs through June of year 2028.
