Philadelphia Internet Connectivity RFP

Help Philly get connected! The City of Philadelphia has issued a request for proposal to study the number of homes in the area without reliable, high-bandwidth internet connectivity options.

For this great opportunity, Philadelphia has partnered with the non-profit organization, Mayor’s Fund for Philadelphia. The partnership will allow the city to track its progress on increasing digital equity through internet connectivity for its citizens.

Therefore, all means to achieve quantifiable measures are being considered.
