A Medieval Italian Village... With High Speed Internet Access
from the sounds-nice dept
Fast Company is running a story about a small Italian village that was basically deserted and grown over, until it was taken over, renovated by a famous architect... and given high speed internet connections into every home. They're trying to build a community there, but there's some debate as to how successful they've been. While some people have moved to the village, many others use it as a summer or vacation home. However, I must admit, the idea of a fully wired, beautiful village with a view of the mountains sounds pretty appealing.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
