I think that ALL schools (and libraries) should act as local community wireless nodes. 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 Best, Josef Davies-Coates MJ Ray wrote:

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/
