[Chapter-delegates] Fighting Homelessness, One Smartphone at a Time

[Carlos M. Martinez]

The same folk that run "their own" IP over *DSLor FTTH. It's no
different. I can run walled gardens on pure simple Ethernet, in fact,
most enterprise networks do so.

The problem, if there is any, does not lie on technologies, it lies on
business models and business practices.

regards,

-Carlos
