If most householders are accessing their broadband via WiFi and Mobile Broadband, could you use it as the link from the distribution point (DP) in the street into the household? That way no extra equipment would be needed in the house and a service could be provided to mobile users in the street, as well as households. Where the DP is on a pole the wireless signal would have a reasonably clear path to the surrounding houses. If the DP is a pit, would the existing copper phone cable carry the signal into the houses? -- Tom Worthington FACS CP, TomW Communications Pty Ltd. t: 0419496150 The Higher Education Whisperer http://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/ PO Box 13, Belconnen ACT 2617, Australia http://www.tomw.net.au Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Research School of Computer Science, Australian National University http://cs.anu.edu.au/courses/COMP7310/ _______________________________________________ Link mailing list Link@mailman.anu.edu.au http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
