We have heard a lot about NAN's in their varios forms recently, and as I am in a position to live close by several friends a form of 802.11b network joining us would certainly be beneficial.
However, whenever you try to recearch the feasibility of a project, all information seems to ognore the cost issue. Surely its would be a lot easier to set up a VPN over broadband. OK, you dont get inherent wireless capabilities, (that doesnt make much different when you live in Manchester England, its usualy raining!) but all of the functionality is there, with the benefit of a bit of security from prying eyes.
If you've never heard of it, dont knock it. It is disgustingly cutsy, but strangly addictive & will improve problem solving skills for anyone who lives in the world of Dweep
