The Open Technology Institute (OTI) is the technology program of the New America Foundation. OTI formulates policy and regulatory reforms to support open architectures and open-source innovations and facilitates the development and implementation of open technologies and communications networks. Additionally, OTI is actively developing open-source, low-cost community wireless networks, particularly in underserved areas. In 2012 OTI's then-director Sascha Meinrath was named to Newsweek’s Digital Power Index list of Top 100 influencers among other “public servants defining digital regulatory boundaries”.
