I think that community broadband will have more credibility when one is actually up and running and proven. Until then, I really don't need to hear any more "We are going to get a 2Mbps circuit at a cost of $5,500 per month for our no-profit wireless network". (Heard this twice now from 2 totally seperate parties).

That is so right. Apart from us very-minority nerdy type, your average Joe Bloggs dosn't give a toss about broadband. Comparing us with Asian countries is a redhearing as well - your average New Zealander dosn't live in an apartment in a crowded city and replace their mobile phone every month just to have the "latest model".
Thats very interesting... I live in Australia and here it's anything but.. Boardband take up has been very powerful here and I think the ideas DiG is tossing around have alot of future. Well they do here. I think comunity BB projects are something we NEED too see more of for.
