Yeah, a Ham license is pretty much a pair of information handcuffs in
the US. You're not even allowed to say "poop."
HOWEVER, there -are- some frequencies that are open-access, not
requiring a license, and without content restrictions. It'd be
interesting to develop a design for using those with Freenet, and Hams
might be the best people to work on it.
Some questions:
1) Is it worth it to use TCP/IP over the connection? Or would
a lighter-weight or fit-to-purpose networking suite be
better?
2) What kind of hardware would be necessary? Could you use
(for example) 802.11 cards? Or radios available at Ham
stores?
3) What kind of coverage could you get? Could you do a
moon-bounce Freenet node? B-)
I think it would be very, very cool to have free, open Freenet
available on a city-wide basis, something like what BAWUG
(http://www.bawug.org/) is planning to do with 802.11.
Leo, didn't you set up a mailing list for freenet hams?
