active member and supporter of TC (Telecommunities Canada) right
into early this year. I will miss his acute insight and
perspectives grounded in the community contexts he knew so well.
He was a remarkable man who had a vision of community-owned
infrastructure from early days. I always wanted to be a fly on the
wall in the National Broadband Taskforce discussions. He came out
of that with some serious telco/gov't contributions to First
Nations owned communications networks -- back in the late 1990s.</p><p>Here are a couple of articles about his life.<br>
