The State of Urban Wireless

Posted by Hemos on from the buidling-to-a-better-tomorrow dept.

mcabiling writes "Julian Priest has released an excellent study on the development of wireless broadband in London. The study analyzes freenetworks versus commercial hotspot services and home wifi usage.

Does anyone have any other similar studies of wireless cities ?"

    Off topic ... I read that as "Judas Priest has released an excellent study ..." at first glance. Freaky.

    I know it's offtopic, but does anyone here know if it's possible to build a wireless network bridge with two Access Points? So that it's possible to connect two networks to eachother?

    Is it still true that you can travel from the southern to the northern most point in Great Britain and be visually monitored the entire trip? Isn't the population of London the most technologically monitored and snooped-on population in the world, second only to China and a few other totalitarian countries?

    Could someone remind me how I'm supposed to get excited when governments are doing something for the "common good"?
