Got this note yesterday from a Temple University student:
Please help me with my dissertation research!
My research focuses on the role wireless signal sharing, or mesh networking, can play in efforts to shrink the digital divide. I am exploring the issue from the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, including regulatory agencies, telecommunication companies, and community wireless networks.
I am interested in what motivates you, as a member of a WiFi signal sharing network, to participate in the WiFi signal sharing movement. I would also like to know how you use the technology and any concerns you may have about it. Please share your insights and let your voice be heard by participating in my research.
You’ll find the survey by following this link: templeuniversit.wirelesscommunities.sgizmo.com
I know your time is valuable, but completing this questionnaire will require just 15 minutes of your time. No personal information will be collected, and I plan to make the survey results freely available at the completion of my research.
If you are willing to be contacted later for an in depth interview, please provide your email address at the end of the survey form. Providing this information is entirely voluntary.
With much appreciation,
Gwen Shaffer
