Okay, I see where this is going... sarcastic responses are welcomed, but don't help much. I'm sure you all mean well. ;-)As I replied to an earlier response:My rant is about the town meeting being held there, in Van Nuys. A city-wide WiFi-based network should include ALL communities...particularly those that cannot afford the expensive major networks, and have been rather left behind. Van Nuys is as far away from most of the communities that would greatly benefit from a standard LA WiFi system, as they are now from having decent/affordable wireless service.These communities (if they will ever be included - physically) have a right to participate in the meeting, but that's an awfully long way for them to travel....heck, I'm Sincerely, Jay (fighting for the underdog) --- On Thu 09/20, Jack Unger < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:From: Jack Unger [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 23:39:55 -0700Subject: [SOCALWUG] Re: LA WiFi Town Hall Meetings and SurveyUm, err... well.... you see...Van Nuys is a *part of the City of Los Angeles*, so is Studio City, North Hollywood, Pacoima, Arleta, Reseda, Tarzana, Encino, Studio City, Woodland Hills, West Hills, Canoga Park, Northridge, North Hills, Chatsworth, etc. Maybe that helps to explain it....Jason wrote:> Maybe this makes sense to everyone, but me...
