Merry Christmas to you, and everyone in the city of Charles City, Iowa.

Our small group has decided to engage a community wireless project
within Charles City, based on the following brief guidelines:
1] "You get what you pay for!". This project is a grassroots project
relying completely on volunteer participation. All services will be
free, including technical support. That means, businesses and city
workers will be disappointed in speed, access, and timely support
issues. Commercial providers will be pleased to know the community
wireless project will not be able to compete with their businesses.
2] The project will focus on empowerment of individuals and the
fostering of a sense of community.
3] The project infrastructure will include free internet "hot spots"
around the community, and creation of a high speed rooftop to rooftop
wireless network open to all. This infrastructure will be developed,
financed, and maintained by, of, and for the community.
4] Communities for dissemination of local information of interest to
the users, such as community news, and events, will be enhanced. For
example, the local newspaper will enjoy an interactive subscriber market
not now available to it for generating additional revenue streams.

If you would like to discuss this project in detail, or feel your
organization would like to participate, please contact me at your
convenience.
Happy Holidays,
Tom Poe
