*******************************************************************************

* PROPOSAL FOR NEW KIND OF ACCESS TO INTERNET IN 416/905 AREA (METRO TORONTO) *
* FORMING A GROUP OF PRIVATE CITIZENS IN A CO-OPERATIVE INTERNET VENTURE *
* *
*******************************************************************************
WHO Anyone who wants cheap SLIP/PPP/WWW access to the Internet and is
fed up with paying too much for too little service. Anyone who wants
the prestige of a personal Internet mail address for a flat $10/month.
Mail peo@ecf.utoronto.ca for a more detailed version of the proposal and a
brief description of other information files filling in details. We had
to shorten up the article to justify daily postings for the week of June 13.
So far, we have 33 people interested in becoming founding members in the last
3 weeks. We need at least 50 people to justify setting up a first meeting,
at least 200 people to accumulate enough capital to buy and setup the hardware.
DISCLAIMER: This proposal is the sole responsibility of the authors
Rocco Racioppo, P.Eng. and Art Stretton, Ph.D.
The PEO has not yet provided its official endorsement of this concept.
