The Dream Lives

It’s been several years since we started Orange Networking and first obtained tax exempt status. It was a challenging process. At the time I felt that if we had all our legal ducks in a row funding would follow. Finding funds has been much harder than I expected. Especially now after October 2008 and the recession our country and world is in. But our hardship provides MORE reasons that we all must have equal access to the Internet.

Here’s what I’ve been up-to. I became a father and ran a small business for three years. We’ve seen a lot of changes in State law concerning community broadband. A new president was elected. Computers have gotten even smaller and tablet computers are taking over as the mobile internet device of choice.

But I haven’t given up on our dream of bringing equal access to broadband to all people who live in Orange County, North Carolina. So for those of you still reading know this, I’m here and so is this organization. We will continue to work to find ways to bridge the digital divide!
