[Davisgig] Website stuff

[Douglas A. Walter]

Hi folks. Well… I was asked by a Council Member to come on down tonight, and comment on the Council item. So I'm not going to "jump the gun," nor spout off the web address yet. But I do want to speak in favor of a Davis community gigabit fiber network, and say that there's a group working to advocate for it. Otherwise, I'm going to suggest that the Plan's Recommendation #1, is a great one, where staff recommends that Council consider a study of a business case for a community network. They say that, because of the expiration of the Comcast contract in 2018, that such a study should be completed by September 2016 at the latest.

I'll say that I'm involved in the group, but that tonight I'm speaking for myself only. I'm not going to leave for the Council chamber for another 20 minutes. And, heck, I might bring the laptop with me and listen to any input on my PERSONAL comments tonight.

I absolutely adore the unicorns 'n' bunnies utopia implied in the phrase "a drug-free world." Sort of like saying "a dust-free desert," or "a salt-free ocean" or "an adultery-free Republican party." It's like they let an oversheltered child come up with their name. "Partnership for No More Icky Things Like, Ever" Mark Morford 8/12/2009
