I know, from my own experience, many of us can provide pretty good free Internet access for our close neighbors. What would really help is being allowed to boost the power, just a bit. Our limitation is 4 watts. Cell phone companies regulary blast at 1500 watts. We need publicize the fact that we could provide low/zero cost Internet access for everyone if it were not for the arcane regulatory restictions of the FCC. I'm pretty sure the City of San Fancisco, for example, would stand behind us if we told them we could provide a free community service (Internet access) if only we were allowed to increase the power of our trancievers by X. Any thoughts on how to proceed? _______________________________________________ BAWUG's general wireless chat mailing list [unsubscribe] http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
