[image: Connected NY]On *Saturday November 19 2016* the *New York Mayor's
Office <http://www1.nyc.gov/site/forward/index.page>* will host *NYC
Connected: Broadband Data Dig
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nyc-connected-broadband-data-dig-tickets-28750933817>*
at *Brooklyn Public Library <https://www.bklynlibrary.org/>*. The public
are invited to use available open data to develop insights into the current
state of broadband in New York City, identify the effects of existing
inequities and recommend ways to measure progress towards universal
broadband. Specifically, 1) What public data related to broadband should
the City use to inform policymaking and track progress, and how should the
City analyze the data? 2) What factors and effects correlate to varying
levels of broadband availability or broadband adoption? 3) What City assets
or other resources can be used most effectively to address broadband
inequities? The winning analyses will have the opportunity to pitch their
"data digs" and recommendations to City officials including *Dr. Amen Ra
Mashariki*, Chief Analytics Officer; *Joshua Breitbart*, Senior Advisor for
Broadband in the Mayor's Office; and *Alphonso Jenkins*, Deputy
Commissioner for Telecommunications Planning at the Department of
Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT).
