NetKey Communications is set to bring a local alternative to major internet providers in the area, with services beginning in April in York and in September in Lebanon.
“NetKey is an idea I’ve had a long time,” said Gary Schaeffer, a partner at the company. "It’s much-needed. I kept seeing the digital divide even before the pandemic. After the pandemic, this became magnified.”
The "digital divide" can refer to the gap between those who have access to and the ability to afford internet and those who don't. President Joe Biden made bridging it one of his campaign promises.
