What they are doing sounds just like NYC Mesh, which has been offering low-cost internet access for years now but is not mentioned in the article.

Certainly the Spectrum workers would be aware of the NYC Mesh project. I wonder why they decided to start such a similar project.

Looking at the NYC mesh vs coop approach, the community approach seems to involve more volunteers and donations and not a dedicated set of employees servicing the business (that they own cooperatively).
