<div>Wouldn't most of the people supporting this project be using TW or Verizon? Just curious.</div>

<br>><br>> Had a thought recently with TW's fiber upgrade and IP changes - this whole area is tied to essentially two critical points of failure for broadband: Verizon and Time Warner for broadband (unless you have a true business class service, or a laptop cellular card). Scary...
<br>><br>><br>Just one of the reasons I'm trying to start a CWN (community wireless<br>network) in Buffalo at <a href="http://www.buffalowireless.org/">http://www.buffalowireless.org/</a>. Not that we<br>will have anything competitive with TW/Verizon in the near future (and
<br>we probably never will) but I hope that the elements of advocacy and<br>education related to issues like 'net access will be a positive<br>influence in the area.<br><br>Media monopolies are problematic for lots of reasons. :(
