'''Healthy signal infrastructure''' is for all [[Green purposes]] not just [[healthy buying infrastructure|buying]]. The more we can do to promote [[hardware standard]]s that decrease the [[hardware requirements]] we must ourselves deploy to support [[Consumerium Services]], and [[modular hardware]] to cut [[e-waste]], the easier it will be to cooperate with other [[essential projects]]. | |||
''Ensuring that [[Publish Wiki]], [[Research Wiki]] and [[Develop Wiki]] set important standards and apply very tough [[institutional buying criteria]] is the third most important responsibility of the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]].'' | |||
Non-buying purposes the '''HSI''' can be used for: [[voting]], [[dating]], [[rendezvous]] like a [[flash mob]], [[orienteering game]]s, [[betting]] and [[investing]] (only healthy to a limited degree, and there is no way to tell betting from investing, period), and almost any kind of [[mobile work]] like [[sales]] or [[transport]] or [[sustainable forestry]]. Of course, any kind of forestry or fishing or investing or sales or transport that is not sustainable is not healthy, so, a truly healthy infrastructure just doesn't help anyone do these things, or, better yet, it charges more to use it if you are using more or damaging more [[styles of capital]] than [[sustainable use]]rs would require. | |||
In the ideal case, the [[Consumerium Services]] and even the [[hardware requirements]] would be delivered for free to all users anywhere in the world, and this would be paid for by charging other users of the same infrastructure for their other uses - charging ''more'' for those doing more damage to Earth. This is one option for how to set up the [[Consumerium License]]. | |||
Probable features of the HSI: | |||
*supports [[audio]] connections primarily | |||
*uses available radio spectrum in the standard bands (1880-1900 MHz, 1900-1920 MHz, or 1910-1930 MHz) | |||
*up to 100,000 users in any km? | |||
*various applications can share the spectrum, e.g. voice and data, or public and private applications. | |||
