Fascinating! Stuart Brand (Whole Earth Catalog & SFI) would be interested, especially the wireless stunt. He studies creativity at the edge of poverty and large sprawling cities.
I've heard a lot more folks planning to retire to Mexico and other south american places. One went to Ecuador .. the optician to whom I gave your email a while back. I saw several years ago a site/magazine specializing in "expatriates" .. finding a place, buying a house, identifying communities of interest, taxes, citizenship, the list goes on. I bet there are a lot of these now. The economics sure makes sense, especially if you're retiring from an expensive area. Adjusting to leaving "home" and familiar surroundings is tough, I remember how well you prepared. I looked into moving to Italy or possible Ireland. Amazing the small things that get in the way. At this point I feel more comfortable in Italy than any other EU country. But it is a Big Deal, and Family intervened! -- Owen On Tue, Jun 30, 2015 at 11:35 PM, Steve Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > and is your price for this is $100/Mbit/month? > > I'm on a similar "first mile" (23miles in my case) and they (cnsp) are > about to offer 50Mb/s service off of SF Ski Hill... for not much more than > my 1.5Mbit/s runs...
