A couple of side notes: 1) We've created a little ISP community, we've got many if not most of the faithful involved or connected. The next layer out is more skeptical or at least unfamiliar with a community solving problems. Turning this group into believers will greatly help (and grow) our established community. Not everyone we're talking to has run an ISP for 15 years or has had a FidoNet account. They need a little coaxing because they don't know and it's scary. 2) As Mr. O'Conner stated at the last users group meeting, many of the next steps involve letting the cat out of the bag. I think specifically in the local business community, we need to let them know who has EXCELLENT local connectivity. This batch of future participants will respond better to customer pressure than community pressure. 3) IMHO 500 Mb/s is a legit exchange, how many people outside this list know that?
