is there any real evidence to say that radio masts cause health prolems? or is it just people geting excited over media hype?
As an aside,
It's interesting that people are happy to put wireless networking into schools but not mobile radio masts (from which the schools can make revenue). I know that the power output is different, but one is likely to be sat in close proximity for some considerable time when the body is susceptible to such influences. (I was under the impression that the operation of such equipment is not yet technically legal in the U.K.. - maybe that's just some frequencies?) Is this because it is not perceived to be 'big business' or is RFR somehow safer if used for surfing the net? :-)
Does anyone have any HSE figures or thoughts?
On a personal note, I don't have a mobile phone.

So long as these networks are community owned the potential benefits from such a system could be huge for everyone.
Other sites to check out (aprat from the already mentioned http://www.consume.net) are http://www.free2air.org and http://www.freenetworks.org

Remember: there are other ways to get high-speed access than ADSL and cable. A number of wireless networking projects are underway and more interested people are welcome at most of them. The largest project site is probably http://www.consume.net/
