Tony Schloss is a General Manager on the EducationSuperHighway Apartment Wi-Fi team. Tony uses his previous experience advocating for social justice and building community broadband networks to support communities to connect to affordable, high-speed broadband.
While working at the Red Hook Initiative, a nonprofit community support organization in Brooklyn, Tony created various leadership, media production and technology training programs and eventually collaborated with local young adults to establish one of the first community WIFI networks in America, Red Hook WIFI. The success of Red Hook WIFI, especially as a resource during the recovery period after Hurricane Sandy led Tony to focus on building community-focused, resilient broadband networks. After enjoying 10 years with RHI, Tony joined HR&A’s Broadband team in NYC and subsequently the Metropolitan Area Planning Council Digital Equity team in Boston before joining EducationSuperHighway.
