so President Obama wants the FCC to preempt state laws that restrict
community and municipal "braodband" initiatives. there are 20 states
that do this now; it's mostly the result of ALEC lobbying on behalf of
cable companies to pass a suite of anti-competitive laws back around 2005.

in any event, this is a major signal that the funding environment might
soon open.  so it's great we're meeting to soon to chat the present/future.

if anyone wants a bit more context into CA's awkward and weak
restrictions on municipal fiber, prod me to explain !

my best,
april

As long as we don't capitulate to the ruling class to get funds :) they are actually trying to limit free speech on a global level and city governments are mostly towing that movement.


 We are in environmental crisis. I think mesh networks could be huge in that arena (as well as privacy rights and cooperation).
