check out the project I've been (very slowly) working on, 510pen<br>
community mesh network - <a href="http://510pen.org/" target="_blank">http://510pen.org/</a> :)<br>
We haven't yet plugged the network into fiber like they've been able<br>
to do in SF, although that would definitely be a goal - especially if<br>
we had a donation from Internet Archive, a foundation, gov't broadband<br>
stimulus, or enough users to fund it. So far we are using<br>
mesh-friendly ISPs like Sonic.net as well as business accounts from<br>
Unwired, etc. which typically permit connection sharing.<br>
