• The city of Ashland, OR has installed a fiber optic network to provide citizens with low-cost cable TV and high-speed data access. This public utility is providing service below the cost charged by large corporations.

• Community Land Trusts are an example of community-based, cooperative and decentralized land ownership. Land is taken off the private market and placed under collective control. The North Camden Land Trust in New Jersey has helped thirty low-income renters who had no hope of personal land ownership to take possession of a number of properties collectively.
