Orlando, FL expands access to the Internet with its Hotspot and Tablet Checkout Pilot

Orlando, FL Hot Spot and Tablet Checkout Pilot

In Progress

Adult residents of Orlando can reserve tablets and Wi-Fi hotspots for free during the one-year pilot. Participants present proof of residency to access connectivity equipment from five neighborhood centers. Each checkout lasts up to two weeks with a one-week buffer between reservations. This program narrows the digital divide identified in Orlando's Future-Ready City strategy.
