Wow, this is great!   I did notice, however, that there are not any  
towns on the main "corridor" that have joined in.  This seems like a  
great alternative to Comcast, Charter, etc... hopefully towns such as  
NoHo, Greenfield, etc would also see this as an opportunity to bring  
in future-proof infrastructure improvements at a time when the future  
of open and democratic communications are unsure.
