I'm getting only a few comments on this from the first list I put it on. BAWUG seems to have pretty wide coverage - so here goes...
---- I have some ideas about how folks in the "unlicensed" community feel about this, but I'd like to be at least quasi-scientific and ask... Here's the question: If there was a magic Wi-Fi box, at a reasonable price, would you use it IF you would not put encrypted or secure traffic on it. No music performances. No downloading of your own or others business Email. No hosting of a commercial web page. No porn. :-( In exchange for those restrictions, you could get 10 DB more signal, (10 watts out), unrestricted antenna gain and probably 2 or 3 times the range for a given data rate. Is the extended range worth working with the restrictions?
