   I have thought about it, but this is an area that has previously suffered
planning blight (a large flyover project that was cancelled as soon as a few
hundred people were evicted and their homes demolished). Long term residents
that remain have either made their own arrangements or have decided that
they do not wish to have any connection. Some other houses are temporary
squats, but most have been converted to single room bedsits for short-term
letting with an ever-changing population. The ideal for those residents
might be some nearby internet cafe.
   There are other people around here with computers, I was testing a new
ADSL wireless modem and found that the wireless connection was already
carrying data before I sat down at my keyboard (I did not have any other
wireless facilities running).
