The nonprofit DigitalC has hoped to bring high-speed internet to inner-city Cleveland, but progress has been slow. Can the group turn that around?
DigitalC, previously known as OneCleveland, and later OneCommunity, had a track record of delivering high-speed internet to Northeast Ohio. In 2012, the group had connected to the internet 2,300 schools, libraries, hospitals, etc.
OneCommunity managed a $100 million project to expand Northeast Ohio's broadband network. And in 2015, the nonprofit installed what was then the "nation's fastest commercial internet service" to Cleveland's Health-Tech Corridor.
