Problems / Solutions

The pipe, the radio, the tongue

The last mile, the radio that still works when the tower is a brick, a tongue that is not a product. Journalism and consent are on the Media pages. Surveillance and mesh are on the Computers pages.

Problem

Spectrum capture

Sixth Circuit, January 2025: federal open-internet rules vacated. Two cable firms hold more than half of fixed broadband.

Solution

Community broadband

Own the last mile. Nearly 450 municipal networks were already running in early 2024.

Problem

Broken emergency comms

911 and the cell site share a power feed and a franchise. When the tower dies, the handheld was supposed to be a toy.

Solution

Ham radio

A Technician license, a charged handheld, a net that has heard the call sign.

Problem

Language loss

UNESCO: about 40 percent of some 8,324 languages at risk. A tongue not spoken to a child is already ending.

Solution

Keep the language

Speak it in the house. Write it down. Hand it to a child.

Further writing

The rest of the line

The costume on the caller ID, the pair they retired, the radio they took out of the car, the only carrier in the jail.
