We need a permanent solution to broadband affordability. Organizer Kimberley Vasquez imagines what it would be like for everyone to have good internet. youtube.com/watch?v=6LJqxK…
Kerala, a state with 9 times the Seattle area's population and a quarter of its GDP, will offer 2 million of its residents publicly-owned high-speed broadband free of charge. Why can't we do the same? @upgradeseattle

The irony here is that the law requiring towns vote to authorize a public network made the issue incredibly public and popular. Comcast lost so badly. Telecoms are unpopular and public broadband is incredibly popular. We ought to vote on it here. tech.slashdot.org/story/23/05/02…
I spent the better part of an adult life fighting telecom monopolization and pointless broadband caps yet here I am in 2023, paying a cable broadband monopoly in Seattle (Comcast) $180 a month for broadband because I downloaded a few extra PS5 VR games in February

Capitalism is the march towards monopoly. Why literally a handful of private corporations control every industry and act like cartels. They hate competition. Now imagine public competitor(s) that provide energy, housing, meds, internet, etc, Market forces screw the corps!
Grassroots advocacy work is difficult, especially when it involves directly lobbying officials which takes time to build relationships, trust and build power and trust with like-minded organizations to show a big coalition is behind community / public broadband.
What is risky is for every level of our government to continue to pour public dollars into corporate monopolies that have failed consumers over and over and over again, and who also use their profits to influence elections and electeds.
We have a majority of electeds at the local level who say that a public broadband option is something they would support. This is a popular issue with voters. Yes it is expensive, but don't believe the corporate propaganda that it is "risky" for a government to take on broadband.
Upgrade King County We helped pass state legislation, made an internet access zine that Seattle Public Libraries found useful, we helped educate electeds and other leaders about public broadband, we convened important conversations among various experts. What's next?
Thanks so much to @realBurhanAzeem who brought so much hope and energy to our working group. We can't wait to see what happens in the City of Cambridge next. An inspiration for #KingCounty ---- Upgrade King County thanks @upgradeseattle @UpgradeCambMA for all you've done, too!
THURSDAY! Awesome chance to hear from @realBurhanAzeem about Municipal Broadband in Cambridge and to hear two other great guest speakers and learn about what @UpgradeKC wants to see in King County, WA. reach out for info for this meeting 6/30 pm May 19th!
!! excited to have @realBurhanAzeem Cambridge Councilor at the next @UpgradeKC meeting on May 19 at 6:30 pm (seattle hours) to hear about municipal broadband. If you’re in King County and want to attend the next meeting email info @ sharethecities . org
The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously last November to move forward with plans both to back subsidies for lower income people and build their own system. capitalandmain.com/l-a-county-see…
We were happy to host a fundraiser last week for @EkcPud. We are an all volunteer group that gets some staffing support from @STCActionFund for 501c4 political work and @sharethecities for 501c3 education work. This fundraiser was supported by the Action Fund.

Maybe it is time for King County to give everyone in affordable & public housing public broadband. They have the authority to make this happen and taxing authority to fund it and they have fiber they can use to make this happen. #PublicBroadbandNow @UpgradeKC @upgradeseattle

@GuyOron @upgradeseattle @electefrain @ronpdavis @marencosta @LewisforSeattle @TammyMoralesSEA has been an amazing outspoken supporter of municipal broadband, an absolute broadband champion! A majority council supporting this is a very real possibility.
@GuyOron @upgradeseattle Shoutout to @electefrain, @ronpdavis, and @marencosta who have been open and interested in municipal broadband. If any other candidates want to learn more, feel free to shoot us a DM!
@GuyOron @upgradeseattle We’re working to educate city council candidates on this issue! Hoping Seattle can elect some broadband champions this cycle and push to make some progress!
Kerala, a state with 9 times the Seattle area's population and a quarter of its GDP, will offer 2 million of its residents publicly-owned high-speed broadband free of charge. Why can't we do the same? @upgradeseattle

Hey if you want to here frustratingly good news from around the country about all the places who are getting a path to public broadband before Seattle & King County please follow @upgradeseattle who came before us and we stole our name from!
The City of Seattle is determined to favor corporate monopolies even though there is broad consensus from residents & small biz is that they would prefer a community / public option not paying corporations for access. Join @upgradeseattle to work on this issue.
Lots of funding for water and clean water. Cyber security grant program, BRIC program. Broadband (the biggest Amt of funding goes thru the state by formula and also a competitive grant program)
@upgradeseattle @MuniNetworks what do you think? better than just automatically dismissing a public option for 20+ miles of new broadband in King County !! So we will count this as a glimmer of hope !? maybe?
@upgradeseattle @chandrawu @cmkshama It's soooo sad that comcast/xfinity shill Bruce Harrell will be Seattle's mayor. Going from one Seattle power broker puppet in Durkan to another, we should ALL be prepared to hold Harrell's feet to the fire for the next 4 years!
