You guys keep mentioning tech pros and geeks in general... don't
forget to explain to common people what Utopia is all about and how it
will benefit them too.

Make it a point if you are going to join the fight to have the tools
you need. Visit Utopianet.org and get some reading material to pass
out or suggest the people read.

Have the facts, the numbers and the solutions that CAN come from Utopia.

Tell them about IP TV... an alternative to Satellite and Cable
(Comcast), as well as phone service (VoIP) instead of being tied down
to Qwest/Comcast, faster download/upload speeds (tell them why this is
important).

People aren't happy with Comcast anymore than we are. They want to be
free, they just don't know they can be.
