[Advisors] ChatBotGPT defines community networking

[Marita Moll]

Oh my, that's pretty complete. So we don't need our brains any more to 
come up with good information. But then, years ago, Neil Postman told us 
that our problem was never lack of information.  We have even had great 
examples for years on how communities can build, own and operate their 
own networks (K-Net). It is obviously possible. So far, the digital 
strategies proposed by governments have simply not been robust enough to 
push through the inertia. Has the pandemic changed things? Well, at 
least we are talking about it again, even using words like "public 
infrastructure."
