In the realm of fantasy, what obstacles would stop a parallel "geek-net" from forming? That is, in many cities we live close enough to our neighbors that an 802.11 peering network can form, each access point running inter-router protocols. Of course, here and there these things would have to peer to the standard internet, but it's cheaper to band together to pay for a T1 or better here and there than to have everyone have to pay a lot for descent service. Of course, only the geeks and nerds would care, so it may simply not be affordable. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> +1 215/837-2287 GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B Attachment:
