Let the engines of user-financed networks roar.

No government has the right to give the rights of way to the Phone Company or the Cable Company. Demand of your local elected officials a network that you own in your community, taking advantage of the municipal rights of way that belong to you as citizen.

You don’t have to take what the Phone Company or Cable Company give you, rendering bits of their choosing. Contact your local city officials and tell them about the third way: a network owned by you and your neighbor that just delivers bits and values not one bit over another. We call this user financed networks.

Let the Phone Company and Cable Company find another way to make a living, because we don’t need them.

Update: Look at where your country is in terms of broadband penetration. Then tell me you are satisfied with this, even if your Congress is. Being 19th is giving up. In a “design” economy such as ours, with the Indians and Chinese coming on, we cannot afford to give up. 19th is giving up.
