@seanalan I *LOVE* these anti-capitalist infra projects.

Yes, municipalities should be the ones doing this work, but I understand that we're working in a capitalistic system, and as such, we need to make concessions when it comes to doing the work that government should be owning.

But I absolutely love the idea of breaking up the telco monopoly when it comes to internet services.

This makes me *so* happy.

Now THIS is an example of a tech innovator disrupting the status quo for equity.

I got into a mild fight with a girlfriend who thinks tech can be used for social impact. But her POV was very...#SocEnt (social enterprise) and I rolled my eyes hard.

I don't think Big Tech has the ability to do anything but build better mousetraps much less end inequity.

She accused me of being myopic in my thinking about Tech. Maybe. But maybe not.

This is another one of those stories that sounds hearwarming at first, but then you realize that the fact that this is necessary is an outrage.

Broadband service used to be considered a luxury, but is now as vital as any public utility.

Add to that the fact that cable industry lobbyists have managed to make coops like this illegal in most of the country. All the power to Devin for helping low income people access the basic tools of survival in the modern age.

YES! BOOOM! Fantastic work, fantastic leadership!

Hay tipped.
