I was talking about this with a friend who used to live here and has
since moved to the SanFrancisco Bay area and helps run a public access
internet site. Out there, anyone who wants an internet account can get
access just about anywhere. There are lots of competing commercial
services and various degrees of public access sites, and this helps to
keep the costs to consumers down, to where sites like his don't charge
but just accept donations of hardware or money.

We got to talking about WiscNet charges, and thought that if a business
like MIX could start off with enough users and maybe some corporate
sponsors, to break even on a highspeed line to say, somewhere in
chicago, bypassing WiscNet, and if word got out that this was a really
cool service, you could actually have a profitable business for
yourself. Mix could then look into offering slip access or whatever
else users would be willing to pay for locally.

I am not speaking for or against Wiscnet, and not as a
representative of CSD in this discussion. I am just sharing
some casual personal conversations of interest related to this thread.
