Apparently we might be eligible for a 50% discount off any "on select
communications services".
It sounds like it would take a few months to apply and receive eligibility.

all done!
It's at maybe the worst possible time (6pm tonight) but there's
nothing we can do about it. We'll try to make it as quick & smooth as
possible.

Subject: Linode Support Ticket 4254236 - Critical Xen Maintenance /
Reboot Schedule
Hello,
Linode recently received several Xen Security Advisories (XSAs) that
require us to perform updates to our host servers. In order to apply
the updates, hosts and the Linodes running on them must be rebooted.
The XSAs will be publicly released by the Xen project team on March
10th, therefore we must complete the updates before that date.
These updates are required to protect the security and safe operations
of not only our infrastructure, but yours as well. We understand that
a disruption with such limited notice is inconvenient, and we hope you
understand that these measures are warranted due to the severity of
the XSAs.
Your Linodes have been assigned a maintenance window in which a reboot
will occur. These times are listed within the Linode Manager[1] in the
timezone set in your user's My Profile[2]. Your schedule in UTC
timezone is as follows:
* 2015-03-06 2:00:00 AM UTC - sudoserver
During the maintenance window Linode instances will be cleanly shut
down while we perform the updates. Your Linode will be inaccessible
during this time. A two-hour window is allocated, however the actual
downtime can be much less. After the maintenance, each Linode will
then be booted. See our Reboot Survival Guide[3] for tips and hints on
configuring and testing that your Linode services boot properly after
the maintenance.
Unfortunately, due the logistical demands of this effort, your
assigned windows are not changeable and the host reboots are
mandatory.
For general information, please see our status post:
<http://status.linode.com/incidents/2dyvn29ds5mz>
Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist.

stating 60-100Mbps @ 1000 feet from the local Central Office:

quality that matters):

Yeah so theoretically Marc should have any contract info about the LMI
connection. All of the mesh folks including Marc should be at Sudo this
evening, so hopefully we can clear up any issues.
I also get the sense that the LMI folks are pretty reasonable, so if for
any reason we don't end up with a static IP (and we should - it's the
"business plan"), then we should probably be able to talk to them and
convince them to provide one.

So a friend of mine knows a guy in the Berkeley Hills who is real nice.
I talked with him on the phone and suggested that he let us put up a tower
at his house, and use it for the mesh network, and give him free internet.
He said that sounds great but cautioned that his view is to the northwest.
His address is 1130 sterling ave, berkeley if you want to look at it on a
topographic map or even visit. If you want to visit, let me know and i'll
call him and coordinate a date when we can go over there. He owns his
house and is a nice guy.
There is a telescoping 90-foot tower in my driveway. I paid $100 for it
and Marc paid $45 in gasoline to go get it, and I don't think I have a
place to put it. If the mesh group wants to buy the tower and put it up
somewhere, for example at Charlie's place, that would work fine.
1130 sterling ave, berkeley
what do you think?

Hi!
http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2015/02/fcc-did-lot-more-just-approve…
"The Federal Communications Commission will allow some cities and towns
to set up and expand municipal Internet services, overruling state laws
that had been put in place to block such efforts."
But it is also interesting, that as a regulated utility service that
Internet now is, it means one can get also access to utility poles and
other essential infrastructure owned by utilities, do deploy the Internet?
BTW, I think with classification of Internet as utility we got a
half-solution. It would be much better to not try to make Internet be
linked with old laws which were made before the Internet. They could
just pass something new, say simply "net neutrality" bill, instead of
trying to make Internet an utility. Because with utility there are also
pretty strict regulations, which do provide neutrality, but also other
requirements. So, not sure if this will then allow alternatives like
community networks to ever legally present them as ISPs, because it
would make them utilities and fall under all requirements, and paperwork.
