Thanks for sharing this article, Praveen.
I used to volunteer at the Berkeley Public Library, and I know that, while
libraries are a good source for wifi, the computers there weren't really
set up for programming. What can we do to add some resources for "learning
to code" to our local libraries?
Hmm.

problematic. That said, I've noticed that network access is critical for
all sorts of folks that come in to our hackerspaces for a lot of reasons.
I sincerely believe that connectivity is a human right as fundamental as
water, and we have companies like xfinity that have captured what should be
a public good D-: I'd really like a broader conversation in our grassroots
communities to shape bay area policy.
Additionally, someone sent me this link to groups like this in Detroit
http://detroitdjc.org/?page_id=9 We are deluged with tech here in the
bay area, but our visions for access have yet to be defined often times...

There's some problematic stuff with the article, but I think it does a
good job in highlighting broadband/wireless disparities and the critical
role that open wifi and projects like mesh could do to pick up the slack
where the municipal governments are totally failing...
