Tacoma Cooperative Network was founded to create a network that gives the local community democratic access to the internet, with as little interference from corporate interests as possible, working toward a goal of complete independence from private influence.Access to the internet is controlled 100% by corporations. The average user has no say on how fast their connection is, how much they have to pay, and how the company they purchase from is run. The prices for access has skyrocketed. Interest access is a vital tool in modern society, needed to pay bills, stay informed on news and events, to shop, gain employment, go to school and higher education, and stay in contact with friends local and long-distance.We believe that the internet should be treated as a utility, and that utilities should be under direct democratic control from the people who use them. We aim to foster a sense of community strength and unity through this project. We want this to be the beginning of a Tacoma that is not reliant on corporate interests that it has no say over, to provide for our needs. We can control the cost; we can help our neighbors get connected. When we organize together, we can make a better future, one step at a time.
