On a more positive note from the afternoon meeting we did hear from Steve at CBN about the INCA project and the potential for JON (Joint Operating Network). INCA is taking more shape and could well be a good voice for the community networks into broader groups such as BSG & COTS. CBN are continuing their funding discussions for INCA and good luck to them on that front.
JON could be very valuable to us. National hubs that will aggregate community networks, potentially offering the backhaul service to the hub and the onward connection to the Internet and other CPs or SPs. There is a lot of benefit to be found in this model and while there is the argument that there are commercial groups out there who can already do this I would counter that JON should utilise their infrastructure while operating under its own model.
