[Davisgig] DavisGig Recapitulation for new list members

[rob]

Hi Davisites

After returning from a much needed 2 week break from the e-world, its 
good to see input from sources, I have  great respect for, and am 
relieved to hear from. It also looks like a new wave of folks has joined 
the list, so I wanted to recapitulate the story on the genesis for this.

While pondering a response to the City Request for Expression of 
Interest on Gigabit fiber, I wrote up a model on how a city owned fiber 
network would work, and could operate. In my business presently, I've 
been pondering on this issue for some years, and I'm thinking now the 
timing is getting right for deploying this. For instance, End user fiber 
CPE (customer premise equipment) can be had now for about $100 and it 
works well.

Here is the URL for the document:

So initially, I am soliciting feedback on this, as a general plan, and 
how it can be refined, or improved.
New list members, over the next days take a moment and read it up. Let 
me know what I'm missing.

Really appreciate everyone's response so far.

I've reached out to some of you over 2014 about making this happen in 
our town, and am really needing and looking to you all to help us 
realize this for our community. My time is really stretched between work 
and family as everyone's is.

And so, onward.

Does anyone have good suggestions aside from a  private wiki type site 
where we can track people's input?

That way we have it easily at hand as we are refining a plan for the 
city to consider, and we can use it to build the content for our public 
facing website that is presenting the importance of this project to our 
neighbors.

  I can try and have a dokuwiki here in some days, we can use privately, 
and I'll apply for a simple site from DCN for the public facing site.
