That was another thing that packet radio has shown me,  if it is there for use, 
people will use it,  even if there was a closer one to them.  Using the central 
system had some "in the club" feel about it, but all it did was cause the 
problems outlined in my previous post. 

High site nodes "should" only ever be used for inter linking between high 
profile sites.

GHO should still be considered a extremely important part of the melbourne 
wireless network even if just used to link 2 or 3 other systems that people in 
turn link into.  There should be no problem with heaps and heaps of data 
flowing through a site so long as it is all coming from only 2 or 3 individual 
other sites.  In fact GHO would be in a perfect position to act as a bridge 
between metro melb and places like geelong, ballarat etc,  long haul high gain 
point2point linking opening up different networks to each other.

Again 2c worth.
