Lynne continues structural meditations on being the media. The angle of approach is waaaay steep for my preferences, see, I believe all the enabling technology required has been around for a while but that the bottleneck is the rate of grass roots adoption. Seems etherially interwoven with the notion of a community systems group.., necessity being the inflection point for essential communal adoption and repurposing of existing technology.
yup, yup.., infrastructure we've already got - the trick will be in provisioning access in such a way that the community passionately embraces its routine utilization.

I would think that to be the media one would have to possess access to, or exercise control over media infrastructure, i.e.; television/radio station or network, fiber optic or cellular networks, software, hardware, etc.. A "community systems group" -- if I understand correctly -- is one approach to securing such a commodity, but the entity itself isn't a medium.
