<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Hi: Think about presenting the idea of a local broadband infrastructure<br>
to your local mayor. If the mayor likes the idea, the next step is to<br>
meet with his tech advisor. Open-mesh.com appears to sell wifi that<br>
each house can use to establish community wide local broadband<br>
infrastructure without Internet access. Units priced at $29 per house,<br>
one-time fee. With the local broadband infrastructure in place, the<br>
city can coordinate with ISP that wants to gain access to the broadband<br>
infrastructure to provide affordable pricing. If not, then the<br>
community can set up virtual world, and work within the community.<br>
<br>
This "last mile" is actively legislated as illegal at the community and<br>
state level. The local hospital can gain access to the infrastructure<br>
for telemedicine programs in return for affordable Internet access.<br>
Grocery stores can offer "branded" network services, etc. Since each<br>
community connects to other communities through WiMAX, it doesn't take<br>
long to connect a state, and bypass ISP/Phone/Cable thugs.<br>
<br>
Legally, your mayor will be told quickly by the telecoms that you can't<br>
do this community initiative. No need for you to pay a lawyer, yet.<br>
Happy Holidays,<br>
