Give them your story about how the internet outage affected you. Make sure
they can't work around the telephone today, nor tomorrow, unless they keep
the pressure up for that redundant internet link.

It does seem like there are a number of people who want to do something
about this. It's great to fire off a letter to the editor or to make a phone
call to a county supervisor, but I think we should actually get *organized*
if we want to have a meaningful impact on the situation. It will take some
sustained effort and a wider base of public support to get real movement.

This is ultimately the winning argument for a campaign to connect
Humboldt: getting reliable, scalable internet connectivity into the area is
a critical piece of economic infrastructure for the 21st century. It's
vastly more important than the rail project, for instance.

Satellite is a fine for some individuals and businesses backup, but it
doesn't scale county-wide. More importantly, it is limited in terms of
latency and overall bandwidth: it's not a building block for the future.
