Dear Friammers, particularly those in Santa Fe,

 

I have been rummaging around on the Ting Website trying to figure out how this thing could possibly work.  Fibre?  Really?

Look at the second item in the blog.  Apparently they have an interesting “foot-in-the-door” strategy, which they are using in Charlottesvill, VA.  They ask you to kick in $9 dollars to “vote” for your neighborhood. 

 

Also, at the city level, one can express interest.  See https://ting.com/internet/townvote
