[MLB-WIRELESS] The future

[lkhoo at csc.com.au]

"hardware" as in someone owns a particular AP that joins two seperate parts
of the network?

aslong as there were multiple routes for traffic this sort of thing
shouldn't happen. As soon as they start charging for traffic the routes
could be adjusted to bypass that particular node.
Too bad for the people that can only access the network via this AP though!

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?
