Community Wireless

  1. Definition in flux. WirelessCommons definition good start.

  2. A bunch of people building a wireless "cloud" in their spare time.
  3. Grass roots / bottom up.
  4. Promotes freedom.
  5. Volunteer based.
  6. Decentralized and distributed ownership (hard to co-opt).
  7. Inherantly location specific (good for communities, good for servcices).
  8. Prebuilt tools and docs are vital for under-privledged areas.
  9. Fun. Will be hard work, but must be fun.
