[mesh-dev] LMI reportback

[April Glaser]

hi all,

two questions on LMI and making omni Internet way better.

-what does the Omni finance group need in order to approve moving
forward with an LMI connection? Do we need to do get more info to write
up a pithy proposal?

-and who bottom lining communicating this to the finance group? was it Marc?

just added updated notes on uplink explorations on our general note pad.
