[PLUG] Re: plug digest, Vol 1 #660 - 10 msgs


Wait, wait, wait... you're starting to make sense.  If we were to build a 
wireless network you could join for free granted A) you were able to and B) 
you could get the equipment C) configure it yourself and got enough people to 
join the ISPs would want to dominate the internet service for the large group 
of people and it won't become a competition on their side rather than ours... 
I just don't know how you would start... I'm oblivious so forgive me, is 
there a way to pipe out 900/2.4/5ghz over a public radio antenna if you rent 
the space? Or is this dangerous/against FCC regulations? Can't we avoid 
paying licensing fees because they are public bands?... and if we were to 
provide free access as a public service perhaps sponsors and or the owners of 
the antenna or backing company would offer free/reduced costs.

Just an idea...
