Continuing my attempt to find someone in the city interested in this. I received this message recently and will pass it on.
Thought that this might be of interest to you, or your friends in city government. This is a Canadian conference on Community-Owned High Speed Networks called: "Community Connect Conference Explores Community-Owned High Speed Networks." Somehow I don't see too many policy makers traveling from Minneapolis to Fredericton New Brunswick, but I thought the synopsis might be of interest. > Cities, towns and villages across North America are investing > in community owned high speed networks as a means of staying > competitive in today's e-world. Significant cost savings for > businesses and the potential impact on economic development are > driving the trend. Representatives of all levels of government > and private companies from across North America will gather in > Fredericton for Community Connect. > > Participants will hear from civic networking experts, wireless > providers, legal representatives exploring the impact of > current federal regulations, private network consultants, and > representatives of communities who have built their own > networks and are continuing to add applications.
