Somewhere in Silicon Valley:

Why haven't we been able to crack this ISP issue yet? Every time someone creates a really great ISP project, they get bought out by the incumbents and shut down. This time we're not just going to create another ISP, we're going to create an app for individuals to monetize their own network infrastructure and they'll build the ISP.
It's Uber for data, except Comcast is the taxi company.

Since I don’t expect South FL to be friendly to #CoopISP, does anyone know of any solid mesh networking projects?

We agitate by supporting #coopISP

We agitate by borrowing movies from the library. We agitate by sharing media with one another. We agitate by switching back to OTA TV. We agitate by using TOR. We agitate by reading and writing fanfic. We agitate by taking money and power out of the pockets of ISPs and content providers, and putting that money and power in to the hands of our communities.

@ntnsndr It's a little dispiriting to see all this energy while wallowing in the defeat of our #coopISP conversion campaign in #btv, but I'm curious if there might be energy to form a #coop WISP to compete with the for-profit buyer of #BurlingtonTelecom...

Here to offer my time and effort to any municipal ISP projects forming or underway in Culver City or Los Angeles proper. Although I primarily work in product management, I do have some IT background.

There are already a few municipal ISPs in the Los Angeles area (Santa Monica and Glendale come to mind). #coopISP

@hummingrain and while you're at it, do you need a documentation manager? #hireme #coopisp
Is anyone in #Seattle looking at starting a local and/or co-op ISP? I want to help! I have experience in datacenters and can lift heavy things. #coopISP
@ntnsndr I've been talking to my local tech co-op about this. They like the idea, but are too busy to start it themselves. I need to figure out how to reach more techies. #CoopISP
It's #NetNeutrality #RIP day. Time to get to work locally, because the feds won't protect us from monopoly ISPs. Who in your community is working for municipal or co-op networks? Time to find each other. #CoopISP
