Just to play devil's advocate here...  I thought that depended on who owned 
the network units.  If Melb Wireless owns the infrastructure, then no 
problem.  But aren't nodes going to be individually owned?

FWIW, I hope you're right... :)

Well, since Internet access costs someone money, I feel it should be member 
only.  General network access should be open to anyone who is passing 
through and cares to connect. :)

I hope you're right. :)
