Wireless Village
Wireless Village of Detroit is a project to create a neighborhood “Wireless Hub House”. More than just a simple Access Point, a Hub House is aimed at creating a free effective internet connection to a Detroit neighborhood, as well as creating connected communities that are capable of sustaining communication during emergencies and outages. Building Ad-Hoc Communities.
A wireless Village concept creates a digital house in any type of neighborhood. Its Zero Carbon Footprint initiative creates a direction for house planning and development that would most benefit a community. Non-Profit in its nature, house is derived out of needs of communities. Creating self-sustainable networks of communication through out a vast sprawling and under developed parts of the city will have vast benefits to an urban community. Culturally, theres is an unlimited demand for what the Internet is capable of supplying. Creating communities that can utilize it and teach its self how to benefit from it is what the Detroit Wireless Village project is about.
Memberships provide incentive for people to take part in ownership of the physical location of the house. Use of the space as a meeting places, classrooms, workshops for neighborhoods and community at large are encouraged, while free access to the network provides a way to create a digital infrastructure for a blank slate community.
Open-Source in its nature, this project is aimed at creating a real road map for accessing the great potential of citizens in Detroit, and to encourage other cities to do the same. Having Internet access can create real jobs overnight. This is what we need to do. This is what we have to do.

The Corporation
You'd think that things like disasters, or the purity of childhood, or even milk, let alone water or air, would be sacred. But no. Corporations have no built-in limits on what, who, or how much they can exploit for profit. In the fifteenth century, the enclosure movement began to put fences around public grazing lands so that they might be privately owned and exploited. Today, every molecule on the planet is up for grabs. In a bid to own it all, corporations are patenting animals, plants, even your DNA. Around things too precious, vulnerable, sacred or important to the public interest, governments have, in the past, drawn protective boundaries against corporate exploitation. Today, governments are inviting corporations into domains from which they were previously barred.
