Wireless Clouds for Good and Ill

Posted by michael on from the slashdot-needs-a-wireless-topic dept.

dr_delete sent in a story about Athens, Georgia joining the ranks of municipalities creating free public wireless networks. In a counterpoint to that, we have the Pentagon cracking down on wireless devices, trying to control information leakage. And Newsforge has a story about starting your own wireless ISP. Nifty stuff.

    I went to UGA and lived in Athens afterwards. I moved up to New England because of a high paying high tech job, but wish that I would have stayed down there. ATHENS IS AWESOME! It is the coolest town that I have ever livened in.

    Now, if they can only get some good paying high tech companies there it would be Nirvana.
