100% Independent

Built by a Board-Level Technology Advisor with Inside Industry Experience

This guide was created by Mike Cannon, a Florida Licensed Community Association Manager (LCAM) and independent board technology advisor with prior experience inside fiber-to-HOA sales organizations.

Having worked on both sides of association technology decisions—advising boards and representing providers—Mike understands how proposals are structured, where incentives can become misaligned, and how long-term technology contracts impact governance, budgets, and residents.

Community Internet Advisory was created to help boards make informed technology decisions without pressure, sales incentives, or provider influence.

  • How provider proposals are structured—and what's often left out
  • Which contract terms create long-term board risk and financial exposure
  • Where incentives can diverge from association interests
  • How boards can ask the right questions before committing to technology contracts

"I created this guide because boards deserve to understand what they're actually agreeing to—before it's too late to change course."
