This sounds great. I have seen ALOT of local interest in the Internet as
long as it is not too expensive (ie, affordable for the average person),
and free would be even better. I, and many others I am sure, would be
interested in contributing, time, energy, and money to this project,
but to date there has not been anyone to coordinate it. I hope that
will change now, and you will post how to contribute to this project.
Perhaps a corporate sponser(s) could be found.

Also I beleive this should be important to EFF-A. If the goal of the
EFF is to civilize cybersapce, then making cyberspace accessible is
certainly a step in the right direction.
