Detroit's Digital Divide:
The city of Detroit, in the U.S. state of Michigan, has experienced an impressive economic and demographic shift over the past 50-years.
Deindustrialization coupled with depopulation has stripped the city of it's economic strength cascading it into turmoil. Global competition from automakers shifted manufacturing jobs out of the area. As businesses left, communities decayed, inducing a terrifying surge in violent crime. Urban rot came next festering from within and eventually sending the city into bankruptcy in 2013 where it reemerged in 2014.
Five-years later, Detroit has gotten worse – not better - and the city is having trouble providing basic utilities for its residents.
In particular, the city along with internet service providers are failing to deliver high-speed internet to a significant part of the low income areas.
That is why one community group of technology geeks have banded together to create an internet of their own.
