It's also a group of volunteers who want this network to grow. We believe internet access should be available, fair, and uncensored. Personal Telco Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in [[PortlandOregon|Portland, Oregon]]. You can help us help everybody with a donation of your time, [[https://www.personaltelco.net/donate|money]], or bandwidth. If you don't live in Portland, there may be a [[WirelessCommunities|similar group near you]]. If there's not, maybe [[PersonalTelcoExports|you could start one]]! <> == Want Internet? == Personal Telco Project operates numerous open-access free-to-the-end-user networks around the city, thanks to the generosity of our hosts. Check out our [[http://map.personaltelco.net/|wifi map]]. <> == Want to Help? == Personal Telco welcomes all comers. Whether you're a technology wizard or technically incompetent, volunteering with us is a great way to learn something new, enjoy teaching others, or use your skills to do something useful (or delightfully, artistically, hilariously non-useful!) Sign up for our [[https://groups.google.com/group/ptp-general?pli=1|mailing list]], drop by our [[LiveChat|IRC live chat]], or [[CalendarOfEvents|attend a meeting]]! <> == Want to Host a Network? == Are you an individual, business, housing project, neighborhood group or other organization that would consider sharing your internet connection with your friends and neighbors?
