[MLB-WIRELESS] The future

[ABBENHUYS, Ryan]

Access points and backbones will probably be spread across so many different
people that it wouldn't be possible for one or even a few people to take
control of the entire network.

Thinking ahead...

If in the future this takes off and becomes very popular around
Melbourne, or perhaps even further than that...

Would it be possible for one/a few people, either on this list now or to
join up in the future to legally/through hardware gain control of
important points of the WAN and act like an ISP or something new, taking
away the free nature of the WAN?

Is there any way that the WAN can be protected, like the GNU GPL
license, to ensure that it is always free to those with the hardware?
