    The term community networking can also mean many different things.
    Silicon Valley Public Access Link is a Free-net(sm) that began operation
    in Santa Clara County in 1994. There is also a national organization,
    the Association for Community Networking that has been involved with
    community and some economic development for almost as long. They just
    finished up an annual meeting in San Diego where the president gave a
    compelling closing plenary speech.
