i live in NG7 and have access to a (sloping) roof, so
should be able to put up an antenna. any ideas of how
far 802.11b will reach? i read about consume.net a
couple of years ago an liked the idea. i think they
also wanted to connect the community network to the
wider Internet via donated broadband. i'm sure most
people would only do that if a) it was secure (and you
didn't get prosecuted when hax0rs used the connection
:) ), b) the donated bandwidth was throttled.
what precisely should be on a community network? i
noticed a radio station. the local libraries (gregory
boulevard...(?)).
