Internet should get viewed as a utility and should be accessible to all!
When I was unemployed. I went to the library formy internet and employment help. Along with career centers. You get have to think for yourself.
cool “community-led” lights.
linus sight.
Usually people talk about the dark side of the internet, it nice to see the people who do the good work on the internet.
Great coverage of a fascinating project! 🌐
Amazing people.
too slow, build it to much faster, good vibes. terabyte speeds plus faster, t=0 instantons internet

What about encryption and safety of the data in this open network?
This needs to be done across the entire planet.
My the only one who thought the guy was saying roughtop instead of rooftop?
This solution could work as a backup for natural disaster occurrences when wifi is down and no communication is possible through traditional means
they need this in sf . i agree here too 😅

It’s great when technicians work for free. Verizon, spectrum, optimum should just stop paying their employees.
Access to knowledge and information and means of self informing and learning should be declared a human right
EXCELLENT reporting here! Thank you for this incredibly educational video!
Ugh I hate communities
