If you were going to design "CFn 2.0", how would you approach the task? What if the goal was to cover one hundred city blocks? I really liked the concept of involving businesses in the picture. Getting them to foot the initial upstart cost of equipment (cheap) was good for both sides of the equation, but we never had a great self-sustaining model for bandwidth costs... other than donations (which worked, I suppose, but it doesn't scale.) In other news... remember when everybody talked about WiMAX, and how that would make community wireless obsolete? Fun article: http://hardware.slashdot.org/hardware/07/09/27/2013204.shtml . Several years later and it's still up in the air (no pun intended.) Cheers!
