>Bob Knight and John McDermon of the La Canada Wireless Association met with
>several of us at a SFI meeting setup by Jim Crutchfield. The goal of the
>meeting was to see how we could have more folks in Santa Fe take part in
>the LCWA network, or at the least, start our own networks.
>
>I'd like to get a list of FRIAM folks interested in the venture.
>
>The idea is roughly this:
> - Get a list of interested folks
> - Get a fairly good idea of where we live topologically speaking
> - See how we could link up to each other giving the topo data
> - Perform a field study of our radio connectability. (This is called
>"stumbling")
> - Work out what equipment we'd need to form a WiFi community
>
>The goal is to have inexpensive, shared, high bandwidth connectivity by
>sharing a T1 line (1.5 MBit bidirectional connection). A T1 leases for
>around $600/month. With 10 folks, that pro-rates to $60/month each, with
>20 its $30/month each. Although that's still not "cheap", its very much
>faster than most current household broadband, and for folks outside service
>areas, its much better than a modem!
>
>Let me know if you are interested.
