Regarding guide.net.... The local governments are not big supporters (except towns where the ADSL is not working).

Free or community driven projects are seen as unholy or something like that to these mafia, i mean government workers. I would not be surprised if we get a call soon that these installations are illegal because they are unfair to Telefonica or something similar./Sarcasm




Not all councils behave like mafia. It just depend witch political party is ruling the city. Actually, some local governments are quite open to backup initiatives coming from the civil society. You know, governments are there because of an election, so they are not better of worst than the people that voted them.
