Description

NYC Mesh is a volunteer-based charitable organization with the goal of creating an open, resilient, and net-neutral community-owned and managed network that is accessible and affordable to all New Yorkers. We are by far the largest and most robust community internet network in the United States - serving countless New York City residents regardless of their ability to pay. NYC Mesh is a resilient, stand-alone communication system serving not only for daily use, but also during emergencies like Hurricane Sandy, continuing to function when other networks fail.
