Baltimore, MD city-owned open access fiber infrastructure

The city of Baltimore is planning to become a broadband provider to enhance internet service for its underserved residents. The city-owned broadband service would give low-income residents equal access to digital resources for education, healthcare, and employment. The goal is to close the digital divide by 2030 for nearly 100,000 residents lacking a wired connection by building city-owned open access fiber infrastructure throughout the city.
