No I think it’s a great blueprint for other places, that’s one of the most exciting parts of it. Listen it might eventually evolve into a more standard operation but why does everything have to be profitable and have employees and be set up as a business? This is working until it doesn’t and their track record shows no sign of slowing. All the issues for this ISP still apply to other ISPs. This one just happened to grow out of the interests of the community.

No reason to politicize this and pigeon hole advocates.
- seibelj 5y agoMy understanding from your original comment about “capitalism” was that there is a strong ideological bent to this which is why I mentioned that. We are in agreement on the actions and ends but probably disagree on the means, whereas I come from a strong capitalist bent. I wish we could apply the same no-entity, no regulation, no-taxes, no formal employment model to many other things including housing and education. But for this one thing it’s OK, but for others it’s not. I wish we could let lots of experiments exist free of the strangling governmental structures.
- yepthatsreality 5y agoNo ideological bent just being general. I can see how one could misconstrue that from what I wrote.
