Fire Your Cable Company With Help From Your Neighbors “With the Internet, people have access to more and more data, but what they’re missing is a Roadmap.” – Steve Blank The mission of NeighborSquad is to help people and organizations create their own roadmaps for connection, hardware and software choices to maximize how the Internet can help them. Beyond pricing and tech help to address the Digital Divide, producing social change is as much about accelerating the knowledge acquisition for consumers regarding how the Internet can improve their lives.
