This young network engineer at Project Waves is doing amazing things in Baltimore
My story here on how Devin Weaver designed, built, and operates a #communitybroadband network that brings free gig speed #Internet service to low-income apartment buildings in one of the nation's most disconnected cities

Now THIS is an example of a tech innovator disrupting the status quo for equity.
I got into a mild fight with a girlfriend who thinks tech can be used for social impact. But her POV was very...#SocEnt (social enterprise) and I rolled my eyes hard.
I don't think Big Tech has the ability to do anything but build better mousetraps much less end inequity.
She accused me of being myopic in my thinking about Tech. Maybe. But maybe not.

Ha! I've been around a few threeway partnerships between govt+philanthropy+tech. I've seen some things.
