Interesting meeting today

Thursday, May 01, 2008 by Dave Winer.

I had a chance meeting with some people today who wanted to talk about bringing fiber to Berkeley. There's an idea that it could be done in a very Berkeley way, which is to say, the city owns it, and the service providers can tap in, but they don't get to dictate terms, as we know many of them like to do. I don't know how exactly I got enlisted, but I guess we've got enough Internet celebs in Berkeley to maybe get this done right, politically. Not sure what comes next, but it sure is interesting.  

Speaking of Berkeley celebs, I tentatively have a podcast interview with George Lakoff tomorrow.
