John Patrick notes the Ruby Ranch Internet Cooperative Association:

A dozen or so neighbors bought the DSLAM for approximately $5,000. With the addition of modems, routers, and various other components (some of which they bought on eBay), the Ruby Ranch folks were able to build their own broadband service. The Coop now offers DSL service to all homes in the Ruby Ranch neighborhood. Their industriousness means they don't have to wait until the next decade to be "always on".

You don't necessarily need to be rural to make use of this technique. Your friendly neighborhood association could do the same. (I'm saying that as if I talk to my neighbors.)

This all reminds me of Greg Bear's Blood Music.

Answer? Avoid meat like the plague.
