Dear Robert
BRING ANY BASE STATIONS THAT YOU HAVE!!
I would agree and I was about to make the same
call to the PCT group.
I wish to again raise the issue about Wireless at the Kram Centre. To-
date neither the WSIS ES or the Tunisian organizers have confirmed that
wireless will be free.
I would like to put forward the position that CS should plan for a
worst case scenario. That being, that Wifi will exist and be as
expensive as was the case in Geneva/WSIS I.
The PCT group did setup a free wireless network but of a limited range
in Geneva.
The question is to provide a wide range WiFi, in that case some
WifiRouters must be used as repeaters to extend the range of
a single broadcast unit.
We might be able to complain all we want, but that won't help things.
Consequently, i would like to propose that CS do what it knows what to
do best - to be creative and deploy it's own wireless network. The CS
Bureau office has a free internet connection,
> and it could be used as
the point where the CS free & independant wifi network connects to the
internet.
only if we have routable IP there....
We did not have routable IPs in Geneva in the CSB offices,
until I reconfigured personnally
the network with the service company guy, after a tense
conversation where I hinted that some CS people might be
otherwise tempted to crack the network.
I have requested further information to the Tunisian
contact provided by the Executive secretariat
and will let you know.
Hope we do have not to waste time on setting up our
own WiFi.
As for next steps - an adhoc tech planning committee should be created
tohelp manage this. Anyone interested, please contact me privately.
count me in
Best regards
Francis
