[MLB-WIRELESS] Fw: [Syd-Wireless] World's Longest Wi-Fi Connection Made by The Swedish Space Corporation

[Steven Haigh]

About a month ago, I jumped into the perth chat room to bounce the idea of
trying to get a free link between melbourne and perth using a major ISP that
has a major point of presence in both cities... The idea is that the ISP
would have lots of internal bandwidth, and an already existing network
structure in operation...

Unfortunatly, the perth boys just laughed it up saying "you'll never get
anything free" and "let me know when you're in the real world" - I say their
loss....

I think we have a good chance of trying to get a major ISP to sponser us
into doing something like this.... They can use QoS to set our data at the
lowest possible priority (hence we get their "idle-time") on the link and
therefore not get anywhere near commercial service, but enough for what we
want....

The main reason that the ISP should already exist in both cities would be
that the cost to the ISP of running this VPN link over their "idle-time"
should me almost nothing (read maybe an extra $1 in power over a year)....

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

by using linking up Melbourne wireless and Sydney wireless.  Has anything
like this been discussed? ( And I don't mean just a few E-Mail or irc
sessions saying it's a good idea).
