In a warehouse basement in Brooklyn’s Red Hook neighborhood late last year, a handful of self-taught network engineers gathered to casually discuss how they might make Time Warner Cable irrelevant in their lives.

The folks at NYC Mesh are actually doing something about it.

This is the news I have been waiting for for years. I am all over this. I am so tired of Time Warner Cable, which is weirdly the only possibility in my little corner of Brooklyn.
These guys in Red Hook are right down the hill from me in Park Slope; I am definitely jumping onboard with them. I know next to nothing about networking, but I'll happily learn to gain that measure of freedom.
