ok
this brings up another objective together with the one detailed above

with this and with some self-built stuff we can try to put in
communication communities and asembleas and other situation throughout
the territory

this means bypassing physically the "commercial" communication
infrastructure, ie: subtracting ourselves from the need for a commercial
network (in a future perspective at least :)))))

as we subtracted from the communication tools provided by mainstream
culture, with this step we can begin to provide ourselves with a real
alternative strategy for communication and community building
independent of commercial/mainstream/corporate infrastructure :)))
