O1 ACCESS SPONSORSHIPS O1 LINKNYC This ambitious project will provide New York City with free, super-high-speed wifi in all five boroughs. LinkNYC is being built by a newly founded company called Intersection. The company builds digital billboards that double as wifi towers. The project is funded by the advertising revenue from these digital billboards (OOH). Intersection and the City of New York will share this revenue. This project allows users to dramatically reduce their data usage while in the city (and thus potentially the revenue for carriers) and it allows tourists from outside of the country to omit roaming fees for data services. The first “links” have already been fired up, and the group expects to have over 2,000 installed throughout the city within a year. 61
