Michael Pierce writes "SeattleWireless TV brings you the latest information
on Community, Corporate, and Home Wireless applications, hardware, security,
and innovators in the field. July 2003 Show Summary: On this month's show,
Peter and Michael report on the wireless project called 'SnowNet,' a project
where Casey Halverson plans to use mountain tops to connect communities via
a 802.11b backbone. We then check out the first link connected to SnowNet.
TacomaNode,' located in Tacoma, Wa. It will connect to Seattle via a
wireless backbone through SnowNet. Scott Kennedy, the owner of the Drinkmore
Caf�, tells us why he has decided to provide free WiFi to his customers
while other places charge. And finally we had a chance to try out a new
Linux embedded product called the Prismiq MediaPlayer. Using this device,
you no longer have to watch your media files on your small computer monitor.
Using a wireless card, it can hook up to your network anywhere! You can view
by choosing your player: Windows MediaPlayer or RealPlayer. If for some
reason they don't stream there are some download links on the site. Also, if
the stream links get messed up for any reason they are on the site, too."
SnowNet is too cool to ignore.
