[OPLINLIST] Community Wide WiFi Service

[Chad Neeper]

For additional practical insight, you also might also consider trying to
find local cities/towns that have done this. If you already have a managed
wireless network, you probably have a vendor/service provider. You might be
able to contact them and see if they have any clients in your general
vicinity that have done similar community-wide projects. I'd think the
vendor might bend over backwards to put you in touch with that other
client, considering that the vendor potentially stands to make a fair bit
of money in the process!

(In an ideal world, I'd think that community-wide coverage would be best
considered a local government project. Having been alive for more than five
minutes however...a local library is probably more likely to succeed!)


2 cents,
Chad
