- WiscNet has $$$$. Our $$$$. No single individual has the $50k to buy
- the routing toys to distribute an internet feed in Milw, nor do they have the
- $30k to buy one year of connect time with (name net.service of your choice)
-
- The second thing 'we' are 'fighting' is this (silly|stupid|naieve|correct)
- idea that information should be free, or at least accessable. And at $2k
- a month, (or whatever) doesn't qualify as accessable.
