Installation is scheduled for completion by December.“It’s a critical step in attracting new businesses, increasing foot traffic and marketing within the 125th Street business district,” Barbara Askins, president of the 125th Street Business Improvement District, said in an email. “We will be leading the way in connecting residents and visitors with our commercial district, improving quality of life, and bridging the digital divide.”The mayor’s office announced the initiative on Monday.The service on 125th Street will be run by GOWEX, a Spanish telecommunications company that already operates 2,000 wireless hot spots throughout the city. GOWEX is one of five organizations, ranging from business alliances to academic institutions, selected by the New York Economic Development Corporation that will be responsible for installing and operating the networks.
