PersonalTelcoConstructed is a rewrite of [[PersonalTelco|the PersonalTelco homepage]] by DanRasmussen, intended to replace the homepage as-is (once issues are ironed out), as opposed to PersonalTelcoUnderConstruction, which is an improved, but not yet complete or polished, version of this page.

<<Anchor(advocate)>> == Want to Build a Better Tomorrow? == Telecommunications Policy in this country is badly broken. The Personal Telco Project is interested in seeing this changed, to make networks work for their users and not for creativity stiffling, abundance-limiting, self-interested, profit-maximizing overlords. Help us to make user-empowering telecommunications policy a reality. Talk to us, talk to your representatives in government. Demand sanity. |

Introducing Personal Telco
Personal Telco is a collection of individuals, businesses, and organizations who share -- or plan to share -- internet connectivity rather than hoard it. 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 Portland, Oregon. You can help us help everybody with a donation of your time, money, or bandwidth. If you don't live in Portland, there may be a similar group near you. If there's not, maybe 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 wifi map.
Want to Help?

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?
