GCN: Over The Hump

After several years teetering on the brink of dissolution, GCN is alive and better than ever, but community-wide broadband is still years away. The answer to the question "whither GCN" that I posted this fall remains unanswered -- all options are still on the table. But it does appear that GCN has achieved sustainability. For the first time in its history it will not depend on volunteers for its basic operations, so we have some breathing room. GCN will continue to operate and incrementally expand broadband coverage while considering the long-term future of Internet access in our community.
