<http://www.nyc.gov/html/nycx/govchallenge.html>At the *Silicon Harlem
Next-Gen Tech Conference <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/9515>* last week, *NYC CTO
Miguel A. Gami <https://about.me/miguelgamino>**ño
<https://about.me/miguelgamino>* announced that his office will promote a
series of '*Moonshot Challenges*
<http://www.nyc.gov/html/nycx/challenges.html>' - Citywide challenges that
encourage global entrepreneurs to partner with the City to propose
solutions to real-life problems and deliver groundbreaking business models
that transform and improve citizens' lives. The first of these, in
partnership with the *Trust for Governors Island
<https://govisland.com/about/the-trust-for-governors-island>*, is the*
Governors Island Connectivity Challenge
<http://www.nyc.gov/html/nycx/govchallenge.html>*, which seeks to
demonstrate affordable ways to deploy high-speed wireless connectivity and
identify the key infrastructure elements that enable effective deployment.
What if 1 Gbps internet could be installed across 150 acres in less than a
week and cost less than $100,000? *Finalists will receive $25,000* to
showcase their solutions on Governors Island, a microcosm for larger
islands globally like Manhattan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The winner will
address the needs of the visitors of today and the multi-use tenants of
tomorrow, while demonstrating their ability to mitigate risks associated
with climate change, such as high winds, potential flooding, and storm
surges. Video of the announcement is below.
