Insightful article:  http://www.slate.com/id/2174858/

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:

years later and it's still up in the air (no pun intended.)

Cheers!
