Summary The Combolisk Project is unincorporated. This is a process to restore free speech to the outdoor broadcast space. Before government, corporations, or business, the outdoor broadcast space was used by the people to inform the people. This use is inherent to the soil and land. It was a first recorded historical use by the Greeks who used the term "obelisk" to describe the outdoor broadcast structure. With governments, corporations, and the need for advertising and marketing to sell goods and services, advertising was born. The term "billboard" generally refers to structures used for paid advertising. The issue becomes that commercial use of advertising has confused the public need for obelisks. I am a retired billboard operator. I have always wanted a way to make billboards more community friendly. The digital technology revolution has given me an opportunity to change the outdoor broadcast space in the interest of the people. Like a phone, digital broadcast structures can have display faces updated in a second either wirelessly, from the Internet, or connected to by local device without the need for expensive faces to be moved, painted, rotated or produced like traditional signs. If the broadcast space can be developed and maintained with paid for broadcasts, the public's intermittent space can be totally free. I have coined the word Combolisk to combine "com"munity with the inherent use of real estate obelisks. The intent of billboards was for advertising. The intent of the Combolisk is for the public to broadcast to the people. Billboards are primarily operated by corporations for corporations and regulated by corporate government. Combolisks are meant to be developed by individual living men and women as broadcast operators for the benefit of the people and supported by corporate broadcasts to pay for the broadcast space and the livelihood of the operators. Please see the rules for more information.
Combolisks are an important concept to preserve the outdoor public display space for the people. Building a Combolisk should be no more complicated than getting an electrical permit to connect to the public electric grid. Zoning is just a way to block people from their constitutional right to free speech. On the other hand, the outdoor broadcast community needs to work together to self-regulate and agree to limit the development of Combolisks to preserve the value for Combolisks. The greatest opportunity to have Combolisks and pay for their expensive development and maintenance is to have commercial businesses pay for broadcasts between the free public use. Broadcasters should be limited by the numbers of Combolisks per population percentage and not by zoning as thoroughfares have no regard for zoning. Let free speech be free.
