Final Community Benefits Agreement
Wireless Agreement Provides Funds for Community Technology and Digital Inclusion Efforts
The Minneapolis City Council voted to adopt contract terms that will provide for over $10 million dollars in digital inclusion funding over the next 7-10 years. This is huge win for community technology advocates, including CTC staff and constituents that worked hard over many months to push this agenda forward!

$500,000.00 up front to a new digital inclusion fund
-
5% annually of ongoing pre-tax net income to the same fund
-
2% of additional profits from adjacent community contracts to the fund
-
Subsidized services to over 100 CTCs, and vouchers for trial accounts to CTCs to distribute to volunteers
-
A free "walled garden" of content, available to everyone who can access the signal, that includes neighborhood portal pages, city websites, and public safety information
-
100% of portal page advertising revenue will be directed to the digital inclusion fund
-
A content management system, and community server, for use by neighborhoods and community groups
-
A guarantee of network neutrality
