[MLB-WIRELESS] bandwidth issues for the future/internet access

[Victor Rajewski]

hey,

I've just joined the list, so sorry if this has been discussed
previously...

Just been thinking about the possibility of connecting the network to the
internet (whether or not that is legally possible), and am wondering if in
fact it is a good idea. Given the bandwidth of wavelan, it seems to me
that as soon as a couple of hundred ppl are using it, it might slow down
to a snails pace, depending on how many nodes one has to hop thru and how
many connections to the outside world there are... if a substantial number
of `leechers' get onto it then there may b problems.

ur thoughts?

You should not use your fireplace, because scientists now believe that,
contrary to popular opinion, fireplaces actually remove heat from houses.
Really, that's what scientists believe.  In fact many scientists actually
use their fireplaces to cool their houses in the summer.  If you visit a
scientist's house on a sultry August day, you'll find a cheerful fire
roaring on the hearth and the scientist sitting nearby, remarking on how
cool he is and drinking heavily.
