Perhaps GLPers in other locals can do the same - have a pre planned meet up location. [/quote] hey D, if I get back there i will definitely look you up. S from N Cal. [/quote]

"What we need is a plan B... there is no plan B right now, there's no clear backup system that we very carefully kept to be independent of the internet . . . what we need is something that doesn't necessarily have the performance of the internet . . . this doesn't need to be a multi-billion dollar government project. It's actually relatively simple to do technically because it can use existing fibers that are in the ground, existing wireless infrastructure.
It's basically a matter of deciding to do it.
