Comment on YSK some cities in the US are starting to build an affordable community built wifi network that goes around big telecom companies
I think European has a head start on this. Not sure which US cities are doing it
I’ve heard rumors (or not rumors) of several cities across the US than outright ban community ISPs. I don’t know the truth of it, but I’m sure someone here can enlighten us on it and/or have trustworthy sources of info.
I think it was states banning the cities doing it. Like Tennessee, being bribed lobbied by AT&T and others doing so
