Meta and Internet Society team up to expand internet access around the world


Meta and the Internet Society have established the Connectivity Co-Funding Initiative, which they announced at Mobile World Congress 2025.

The partners are committing a $30 million investment through 2030 that will go to funding infrastructure development in various communities, specifically those overlooked or intentionally ignored by commercial providers. In addition, the initiative's money will go towards training programs that improve the technical know-how of marginalized grounds, to community-centered solutions for underserved areas, as well as to locally owned networks that create jobs. "It is our hope that this fund plays a pivotal role in reducing this gap and creating a more equitable digital society."
