The oakland internet choice initiative is picking up speed!
> The Oakland Internet Choice Coalition (OICC) is organizing to provide a
legal path requiring landlords of large multi-tenant buildings to allow
*any *qualified Internet service provider to serve their tenants.
Oakland City Council President Rebecca Kaplan is looking for community
support in the next couple of months.
If you live in Oakland, read more about it and send her an email:
https://takeaction.salsalabs.org/oicc0
I think passing this ordinance is going to be a really important step to
support independent ISPs in their fight against the big monopolies.

I am adding some Omni Commons groups to this.
Hopefully we can get more folks involved with Commons Working Group as
potential for physical opening (?) gets closer.
Or at least host virtual events for more financial support ?
Get new voices and perspectives in the mix.
I'll start attending soon especially in connection to North Oakland Mutual
Aid
Free Store aspects.

Heh heh. Yes indeed, I just mentioned it as an interesting example of
what’s coming along commercially.
Reptilicus sounds Scandilicious!
I see snippets on YouTube - will look for the whole film.

I think they’re especially going after owners of multiple-occupancy
buildings.
[One of the pitches - providing coverage for farm sensors- seems
unrealistic- vineyards etc. in Yolo County don’t have heaps of neighbors.]
