About WHI

Wireless Harlem Initiative is a community-based effort to close the digital divide in the Harlem community, bringing the promise of broadband and global access to information to all of its residents.

Wireless Harlem's goal is to make Harlem into one of the most digitally connected communities in America and use new and innovative applications to increase access to job opportunities, provide economic development, close educational gaps, and tap into one of New York's most vibrant tourism economies.

Management

Michael Lewis is founder of Wireless Harlem Initiative, a New York based non-profit, which is advocating to bring affordable wireless broadband to Harlem in order to close the digital divide.

Following passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Lewis helped devise MCI's messaging and outreach strategy on Capitol Hill and for local markets. For Hewlett-Packard he led a team focused on its Linux server market which won a Gold SABRE award (2001). Lewis launched On Message Communications, Inc. in Oct. 2004.
