[MLB-WIRELESS] more important issues <aka: guerilla radio is by ninjas, for ninjas. Worked for global IP's development!>

[Joseph Sirucka]

Hi

we decided to register a domain mountainwireless.org for us in the hills.

were willing to adapt or change when the near future things happen.

as for the wlan, it seems a great idea, but when will that happen.

A net.au or a com.au or even a org.au takes some paper work to be registered or some associated body.

oh we intend to put the inforamtion for how were going/doing in probably a week when we next get together.
