Hey Steve-
You're right. It seems I glossed over the need for immediate
satisfaction as a core requirement for a hobby-project. Let's begin
traveling down option #2.
There might be some interesting engineering challenges creating
"hotspots" as well. Perhaps we could get more people and companies on
board to setup psudo-public "hotspots" if we guaranteed that the users
wouldn't use up too much bandwidth.
Does this sort of promise lead the group down a path of setting up
our own virtual-tunneled network? That right there sounds like a good
engineering project. Setting up each node and maintaining them is also a
worthwhile endevour for members of TC-WUG not interested in the
"way-too-techie" side of things.
Okie, that's one suggestion. How does the rest of the group see
it?
