[MLB-WIRELESS] Connecting nodes/clusters and expanding the mesh via Internet tunnels.

[Brendan Hiley]

I might have been mistaken about Datafast... but the original idea still stands.

  In the past, it has been suggested that we start linking some nodes
  via the Internet.

  Because of tight download limits and charges for excess, this has
  been unrealistic.
  But recently, more ISPs have been giving customers free intrastate
  user-user traffic.

  I propose that users of ISPs that give their users a free P2P service
  get together and try out some tunnelling.

  At the moment Netspace, Datafast, Alphalink and Request offer this
  service.

  To start with, I'm after expressions of interest from users who have
  access to services with those providers then I can discuss it with
  the rest of the routing/addressing working group to perhaps come up
  with some instructions for people and finalize an address allocation
  system.

  I think this would be a great way to start expanding the mesh as it
  slowly forms and getting it into ditches and places where it would be
  difficult to get wireless connectivity.
