While in some countries this is still a new service, sooner or later it will come there. In Bulgaria thanks to 802.11b many people got on the Internet at times when the telecom monopolist would not allow leased lines or enough dial-up POPs. But that's another story.

Thus we'll be able to hear news from all over the Internet world, in real time. I think this will also allow people who are busy to read/write in the list, to go to one place and see what has happened - with comments, etc. Is there anyone here who's a keen blogger? If not, I can talk to Joichi Ito (joi.ito.com) - one of the most famous bloggers.

>  ISOC chapters are mainly volunteer organizations, with limited or no funding. We need to change that. If there is another chapter that actually has a budget, that is performing long-term projects, please, let us know. We need to unite efforts and share expenses. Thus we'll be able to build a self-sustainable model for all chapters.
>  For the EU chapters possible funding could come under the different EU-programs. Patrick, what do you think?
