| Peering is the operative word there, yes? TWC and AT&T don't have a
| financial incentive to hook up such that two neighbors in Cary have a

| draw instead be low-cost adsl? Would the draw be some added feature,
| eg. better-quality VoIP than what you get from TWC? As much as I love
| supporting coops (Weaver Street Market comes to mind), we would need
| some way of differentiating ourselves in order to get critical mass.

| Unless you want to enlist far-sighted folks who happen to work in
| local government... get them to champion a project.... [0]
