The Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network (CUWiN), Prairienet, and
Free Press invite you to join us for a national Community Wireless
Networking Summit August 20-22, 2004 in Urbana, IL.  "Making the
Connection: The 2004 National Summit for Community Wireless Networks" will
focus on grassroots action, impacting national regulations and policies,
and building a coalition of local groups, researchers, policy leaders,
decision-makers, and community activists.

It's time we organized to take the public airwaves back from corporate
interests.  Community Wireless Networks offer more services for cheaper
prices and are owned by the communities that deploy them.  Anyone
interested in making the "public interest" the number one priority in our
wireless telecommunications infrastructure should definitely attend this
summit.

Community Wireless Developers from across North America will be
demonstrating cutting-edge technologies; researchers and programmers will
discuss recent breakthroughs and developments; and policy-makers and
funders will strategize with participants on how to launch new
initiatives.

Registration for the weekend-long Making the Connection Summit only costs
$30 for students and low-income, $75 for all others.  Register online at:
