How to Use this Website

Everyone should start out as follows.

• Read Background to gain an appreciation of the rationale behind this vision, the scope of the concept and how many of the necessary building blocks we already have.
• Then read the first section under Benefits as this covers most of the major localnet services in some detail.
• If you identify with any of the other characters described in this chapter, read their story to get a better feel for the impact on you personally. Feel free to read others that match people you know - such as a parent or your teenage student son.
• If you like the sound of localnet, please start talking about it, persuading your friends to learn about it and lobby your MP to make it happen.

Environmentalists should look at Impact to appreciate the huge difference this will make to the planet. Then lobby for it.

Politicians, economists, venture capitalists and bankers should study Impact, Challenges and Making it Happen. They should then insist that it comes about, assign some budget and stand well clear as the group below charge through.

Engineers, scientists, mathematicians and IT folks should read Services, Implementation, Components and Infrastructure and start working on it.
