New York City Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams was scheduled to make an announcement Wednesday about the digital divide and affordable internet service in the city, his office said in a press advisory.

Williams planned to discuss the need to lower costs for New Yorkers who, according to his office, bear the brunt of the digital divide. The office said the Bronx pays the highest average monthly cost for the slowest average internet speeds among the five boroughs. As a result, the office said, Bronx residents pay nearly double what Manhattan residents pay and devote the largest share of their income to internet costs.
