Digital Inclusion of All Austinites for the 21st Century

Having worked to expand broadband access to rural areas, Neha understands that digital equity needs to start with city-wide and reliable access. In today’s digital world, access to internet is essential and non-negotiable.

  • Expanding high-speed internet access to all neighborhoods

  • Technology infrastructure that supports small business growth and remote work. This includes proposing a local ordinance guaranteeing every Austin renter the right to choose their internet provider, challenging landlord ISP lock-in.

  • Bring free public Wi-Fi for every Austinite by ensuring the city's new IKE kiosk network expands beyond downtown into East Austin neighborhoods

  • Drive educational initiatives and legislation to protect online consumer protections in increasing use of social media and AI-driven fraud and scammer trends.
