The Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network (CUWiN), Mid-Rivers
Community Wireless Network, and Free Press invite you to join us for a
Community Wireless Networking Summit, March 31-April 2, 2006 in St.
Charles, MO (right outside St. Louis). "Imagine & Implement: The 2006
National Summit for Community Wireless Networks" will focus on
grassroots action; impacting national regulations and policies; and
building the coalition of community groups, researchers, policy leaders,
decision-makers, and activists working to create better broadband
services and telecommunications infrastructures.

With Network Neutrality under attack and broadband service continuing to
stagnate, it's time we organized to take the public airwaves back from
corporate interests and put the public interest back in the spotlight.
Community Wireless Networks are often owned by the communities that
deploy them and offer better services for cheaper prices than
traditional ISPs. Anyone interested in making the "public interest" the
number one priority in broadband service provision should definitely
attend this summit.

Community Wireless developers from across North America will be
demonstrating cutting-edge technologies; researchers and programmers
will discuss recent breakthroughs and developments; and policy-makers
and funders will strategize with participants on the new initiatives
being launched and how we can make an impact in DC.
