I've heard Alex mention requiring incumbents to offer affordable access to their networks...
It would be interesting to see the existing small WISPs offer access like larger ISPs... If several small WISP's were to band together, setup a pair of proxy radius servers you might have an interesting model... Adjust access pricing according to the coverage of each member or something similar... not well though out, just a dust bunny in the back of my brain. plus it would create a centralized accounting system that may expose the usage habits of users as the migrate around the city to help with build out plans.. I think that carrier peering arrangements and pnaps are a model that could be looked at as a very loose example. If something like this were free access... individuals would at least be able to setup a decent WPA infrastructure without needing their own radius servers. I even think pebble could be modified to setup an instant member node without many problems, may do something similar to wiana and allow node managers to setup permission roles based on realms. .darrel. -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
