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,

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).

Hi yeah,
Sorry for the radio silence on my end about this. I'm combing through my
email/notes now to try to get the latest.
More soon,
April
