Blue informational poster asking how a community-owned fiber network could be funded and operated.

Posted to Beaver Island Association (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Association on 2025-06-11 20:45:26. Caption as posted: "Interested in what's happening with efforts to improve internet service on the Island? The Beaver Island Association in collaboration with the Joint Telecommunications Advisory Committee is holding a Community Broadband Forum this Thursday at 5:30 at the BIC Center. Learn about community owned fiber projects and how one might work on the the Island. Who would run it? How could service be assured? How would we pay for it? That plus an update on current activity, an opportunity to ask questions and provide input."

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A dark blue graphic poster features large white lettering and sweeping blue fiber-optic-like ribbons on the right. Smaller white text presents questions about funding and operation, followed by event information and two organizational logos along the bottom.

A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

Catalogued as a photograph posted to the Beaver Island Association Facebook page on 2025-06-11. The accompanying post describes a community broadband forum concerning community-owned fiber projects, funding, operation, and internet service.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Small text beneath the logos is not fully legible.

Rights and credit

Community source, no stated terms; published non-commercially with attribution and a link to the original post.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.

Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.

Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
