April 22 2017* the *National Science Foundation
<https://www.nsf.gov/>* and *Mozilla
<https://mozilla.org/>* will host a launch event for the *Wireless
Innovation for a Networked Society Challenges
<https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/03/07/2-million-prize-building-accessible-internet/>*
at eBay's office in NYC. These competitions, which have *$2m in prizes*,
challenge the public to identify and demonstrate solutions to further
wireless networks in two scenarios. (1) The *Off-the-Grid Internet
Challenge* aims to find wireless solutions for communication that can be
rapidly deployed in post-disaster situations where Internet access is
unavailable or compromised. (2) The *Smart Community Networks Challenge*
aims to find wireless solutions for communication that can be built on top
of existing infrastructure to enhance Internet connectivity in communities
that need greater access. Each challenge will consist of two stages: a *Design
Concept Stage* and a *Working Prototype Stage*. If you wish to attend in
person *RSVP here <http://bit.ly/nsfwinsnyc>*. The event will be webcast
live on the* Internet Society Livestream Channel
