I'm interested. But I think one topic of discussion should be how to involve the community to support it and counter lobbying from the ISPs. There are some sugar plums out there that might aid persuading a university or other entity to build a public-facing project. From the legal research I did during the efforts to persuade Google to select this area as a testbed community for its gigabit-per-second networking project, there are federal grants available for community broadband projects. I haven't updated that research recently, but the grant programs I looked at uniformly required that the broadband projects be public-facing as opposed to closed-community facing.
