Thanks, Tom, for this report.
So how does this work from here? Could I start a company called Egg-Head Services (my logo would by Humpty-Dumpty sitting on a wall) and start connecting people to the hub? Would I need my own wire? Or could I commandeer wires already there? As for the space over REI, does the City now hire people to oversee it? Do we have any thoughts who that might be? Wink, wink; nudge, nudge. Does anybody have any policy guidelines for the operation of such a space? W,w; n, n. Isn’t this something we have been dreaming about? Nick Nicholas S.

Looks like it might be a good start, but it probably will be a long time until fiber-to-the-home is available for most of Santa Fe. What else is new. But the mayor did say that he is going to ask the city council to open up 8,000 sf of space in the 500 Market St. (above REI) to start-ups. Free? I don't know. As he said, that space, which now has gigabyte cnx, has been vacant since the building was constructed. Of course this is what SF Complex tried to do 8 yrs ago. I've seen the mayor recently at a couple events like this. I think that unlike his predecessor, he gets the idea of the Digital Revolution and is genuinely engaged is trying to move ahead. A welcome change. This new gigabyte system is, we are told, an open system, so any provider can connect and resell the service. -Tom Sent with MailTrack <https://mailtrack.io/install?source=signature&lang=en&[email protected]&idSignature=22> <https://mailtrack.io/trace/mail/89266d441e9c8c1bea3031db469c7459b8c2951d.png> ============================================ Tom Johnson Institute for Analytic Journalism -- Santa Fe, NM USA 505.577.6482(c) 505.473.9646(h) Society of Professional Journalists <http://www.spj.org> - Region 9 <http://www.spj.org/region9.asp> Director Check out It's The People's Data <https://www.facebook.com/pages/Its-The-Peoples-Data/1599854626919671> http://www.jtjohnson.com <http://www.jtjohnson.com/> [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ============================================ On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 11:44 AM, Arlo Barnes <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: On Tue, Dec 8, 2015 at 11:53 AM, Barry MacKichan <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: On 7 Dec 2015, at 11:20, Nick Thompson wrote: On Monday, December 14th from 9 until 11 AM Mayor Gonzales will be joined by special industry guests to flip the switch [...] Does anybody know how to find their rollout schedule, and a map of the “first gigabit district”?
