I moving up there for the season and as it stands, theres not DSL/Cable available in my area (just outside Tahoe City). After further investigation, it seems that most of the tahoe area (Truckee and Incline aside) don't have any broadband services and I cant find any open networks in the region. There is one company ( http://tahoe.ltol.com ) thats offering wireless services in the Tahoe area, although its only really visible from Truckee and its quite expensive. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any other wireless providers/open networks in the Tahoe area. Otherwise, I'm considering setting one up (maybe free/community) in Incline Village so that all the shoreside people have access. I imagine there'll be a few big hurdles (snow, evaporation, and freezing temperatures) but otherwise this would probably be doable. Any insights (i.e is it possible to do in the cold/snowy conditions with evaporation coming off the lake)? The alternative is a 'starband' type services with 1sec+ latency which isnt so fun for ssh. -a -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
