[Imc-makerspace] Mesh Wifi and Computer Networking

[Stewart Dickson]

Really?  "...closed off from the community..." sounds absolutely counter to
the intent of UC2B.   Your taxes pay for that school.   This sounds like a
political fiefdom talking to me.
Brandon Bowersox assured me that Churches, Boys & Girls Clubs, Metanoia
Center, etc. should all be able to connect their surrounding communities
via Mesh Wifi.  It is just a matter of making
the technology available to them, guiding and assisting them through
putting the antennas up.

As for Shadow Wood -- and basically any other neighborhood, apartment
complex or homeowner's association -- Brandon told me specifically that
they can organize and apply as a group for a
reduced cost to get the fiber into their neighborhoods.  They should do it
today!
