"This is not going to be another whine and moan and then a nifty tekkie
article on getting rural folk on the internet at a decent speed. We don't need
that. What we do need are examples, like the Ruby Ranch Gang of 12, in
Colorado. If you go to http://www.rric.net
you will find an incredible amount of information on how to set up a system for
near neighbors to have fast internet connections. It took a lot of work,
primarily legal work because of the nature of government and utilities in the
States, but it appears worth it. Check it out, email them for advice, and get
your Matilda a-waltzing round your outback neighborhood with you."

for Education Network Initiatives in California. "Now, inside a
neighborhood horse barn hangs a 12-inch-wide metal box that's securing a
brighter technological future for the locals. Known as a DSLAM, the box serves
as the hub of a new broadband service that began in May. Neither Qwest,
AT&T or any other telco owns the box. About a dozen of his neighbors bought
it last year for approximately $5,000. Then they scooped up cable modems,
routers, and other equipment (usually for pennies on the dollar on eBay) and
spent the past 10 months setting up the first subscriber-owned DSL co-op in
America. While it all might seem unremarkable to outsiders -- it serves 12
homes at average DSL data speeds - it does offer a compelling script for rural
towns that don't want to wait until the next ice age to join the 21st
century."

"At least two LUGs with which I am involved have talked about starting
community ISPs, and I'm sure many other computer user groups have had the same
thought. This is why we buttonholed Carl Oppedahl of Colorado's Ruby Ranch
Internet Cooperative and asked him to answer your questions. (This interview
and the Ruby Ranch FAQs should almost be required reading for anyone thinking
about starting their own community ISP.)"
