[Davisgig] Innovation Center Listening Tour

Thu Mar 26 00:14:34 PDT 2015

OpEd in the Enterprise is the best bet. But it will take some thought to put it together. Most importantly, the expected benefits need to be spelled out. Where are the positive reviews from citizens who have been through this already in other communities? Does the city plan to run this? (I sure hope not). What are the local business benefits? Would this attract clean industry and how much might add to city revenues? What about the business model? I'm just scratching the surface.

     Hi 

     This is an opportunity to go and bring up community
 fiber, and its 
     a good venue to go and tell the public about the
 project. 

     It seems the city is pretty interested, from what I can
 see so far,
     at moving  a community fiber plan forward 

     with  good speed, for several reasons. 

     We need to start being more public. 

     A Davis Wiki Page, to refer folks over to DavisGig.org,
 and we also
     can get the City probably to bring it up as a topic at
 the 

     site Jason Aller mentioned earlier, 

     http://cityofdavis.mindmixer.com/

     We could perhaps make a Poll out of it. 

     What else do we think? 

     Article for the Vanguard? 

     Op Ed in the Enterprise? 

     Press releases ? 

     Thanks

     RAN

       Hello All,

       In Fridays Enterprise there
 is an article about the
         council listening tour for the Innovation
 Centers.
       It’s listed as a
 “casual, drop-in town hall meeting”
         which is perfect for those of us who would rather
 not speak at
         city council meetings.
       My personal feeling on this
 is that I don’t oppose
         the Innovation Centers, but I think community fiber
 should come
         first.
       These Centers need a public
 vote, if the city feels
         like there is enough opposition to them, this might
 open some
         doors and get us fast-tracked.

       If possible please drop by
 one of these events and
         let them know you want FTTH
