Subject: Please help LMi fight AT&T's anti-competitive petition
To: lmi-bulletin(a)lists.lmi.net
As an LMi.net member, you know that competitive internet access and telecom
service is worth saving. A recent petition submitted to the FCC by the US
Telecom Association, representing AT&T and other incumbents threatens
LMi.net and all other competitive carriers.
We need you to speak out to save competition today!
The details: The 1996 Telecommunications Act allows competitive carriers
like LMi.net to rent bare copper lines from incumbent carriers, and to use
spare fiber between cities. These critical “unbundled network elements”
(UNEs) enable LMi.net to deploy equipment and provide our Phlo and Phiber
services, and to backhaul our gigabit fiber service. UNE copper services
enable our fiber deployment by allowing us to aggregate demand and serve
members while we deploy fiber.
The bottom line: If the petition passes, it will eliminate the right of
independent carriers to serve customers on copper lines, and to use fiber
to connect our networks around the state. That would impair our ability to
deploy new gigabit fiber service.
LMi.net remains committed to deploying gigabit fiber infrastructure,
bringing fast affordable internet and telecom to all. But, it is critical
that we stand together to fight for competitive telecommunications, and we
hope that you will join us.
There is already too little competitive choice in internet access and
telecom service, and if the petition is approved, independent carriers
across the country will lose access to critical network elements, and
consumers could lose their choice of providers.
What can you do?
LMi.net is fighting this petition, standing up for the interests of our
members. You can help by visiting https://savecompetition.com to leave a
public comment letting the FCC know why you value competitive choice and
that you oppose the USTelecom petition.
Fixing internet access and telecommunications in America isn’t an easy
task, but LMi.net is committed to that mission. Please help us by providing
your comments to the FCC.

Hey everybody!
Build Your Own Internet Office Hours* is back this Sunday (after being
taken over by disaster.radio last week).
We have some potential node mount locations in mind, but if all else fails
we can hang out at the Omni and talk about networking (maybe we can even
put a new node or two on our roof).
Potential topics for knowledge shares,
* All About Antennas - what kinds of antennas exist? how, when, and where
do you use them?
* Planning the Unplanned Network - what are some strategies for building a
network that can expand dynamically?
Everyone's welcome to come learn about node mounting, if we have enough
people we could even split into two teams.
Hope to see you tomorrow!

** What are BYOI office hours?It serves two purposes:*
*1. A jumping off point for people interested helping with a scheduled
Sunday node mount, but who are not able to attend a Tuesday night meeting
or are not "in the know."*
*2. A friendly time for new people to get oriented to the project or just
ask general questions about networking, the internet, and their service
provider.*
Hello!
I'm going to meet with bengo tomorrow (Tuesday) at sudo room around 2pm to
start triaging some of our open github issues.
Please join if you are free and interested! No experience necessary.
I'll plan to send an update email at the end of our sesh summarizing what
went down. One of my goals is to end up with a larger group of "good first
issues."
You can also join us remotely in the #software channel of
peoplesopen.net/chat.

Hi all:
Thanks for a great and informative meeting last night! For those of you I
didn't meet, my name is Selene and I'm a reporter for local public radio
station KALW <http://www.kalw.org/#stream/0>. I'm covering a story on this
project.
I'm looking for folks to interview, so if you're passionate about this
project and are free for 5-10 minutes sometime in the next two weeks,
please let me know! We'll talk about your involvement and why this project
is important. I'm interested in talking to everyone, but if your role is
non-technical, or you're well versed in making complex concepts
understandable, I'd especially love to interview you.
I would also love to come along on a node mount if one is happening in the
next couple weeks, so please let me know about any upcoming plans. I think
it would be great for radio.
My email is selross2(a)gmail.com and number is (510) 816-0458. Feel free to
text/call/email with any questions or if you'd like to be interviewed!
Thanks again –
Selene Ross
