Harman,
 
At this stage the network is still in it's development stages.  There
are little pockets of nodes popping up about the place.  Every little
bit counts because of course once people see it working, they want to
connect to.  If you were to link to your mate, and another mate found
out another block away, he could join in too, and so on.  Eventually
someone linking to you will have a line of sight to another access
point, and he can be used to route traffic between the two, sort of
doubling the amount of connections i spose.
 
Personally my connection isn't up and running, however I will be linking
to a mate about 250m away where we will be setting up an access point
because he has a good view of surrounding suburbs.  From there I know of
a few people who could theoretically connect to us and probably would,
from there I know of other people who we could link to via other people.
As I said it's a progressive thing that will slowly grow.  You've really
got to have faith and foresight to join in :)

Thanks for the reply Ryan.
 
Well just got another few questions :P... well if i do this as you say
with a mate, then its only me and my mate and thats it the network ends
there. What i amw ondering is are you guys who are neck deep in this
have a network going that i can plug into ( provided that i can find a
good node around me ) ?
 
Well once again any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks
Harman
