Wiring a Neighborhood?

Posted by michael on from the go-wireless-young-man dept.

mklencke writes "I'm part of a project that is developing a small neighborhood of about 30 houses in the Netherlands with technology, durability and ecological features in mind. We are looking at centralizing the Internet, TV, phone and radio access. Options we have come across are a central satellite dish, a central subscriber line, etc. Preferably, fiber optics will be used. However, it is very difficult to have a good overview of possibilities, and fiber optics technology is apparently very expensive to implement. Have any Slashdot readers been engaged in a similar project? Do you have hints or resources on how to go about wiring our neighborhood?"

    It should be "The Netherlands".

    And I just assume everyone loves The Netherlands. Well, at least the softdrugs policy ;-)

    How to wire a Dutch neighborhood:
    1) Steal bicycles
    2) ???
    3) Profit

    Whatever solution you go for, you may want to RFID the neighborhood's bicycles just to know where they get off to (aside from the canals).

    Why did you mention you work at a porn site? It doesn't seem like much in the way of bragging rights.

    It would be if he still worked on his share of large-scale pipe- and cable-laying projects at that porn site!

    Off topic, but you might want to see this - pictures of a guy eating out of the litterbox, then even worse - feeding cat litter to a baby. What is the world coming to?
