NYC Seeks Proposals to Expand 5G and Broadband Access Citywide

New York City is seeking proposals from telecom companies to expand 5G and broadband access citywide, Mayor Bill de Blasio said. As part of the plan, the city is making a historic $157 million capital investment to help close the digital equality divide, de Blasio said Wednesday at a virus briefing. The plan is to reach 600,000 New Yorkers, including 200,000 in public housing, the mayor said.
