Hey i am expessing my views and pointing pitfalls and problem that may
occure.
And I will also mention certain issues that many people are afraid to
mention.

1.  I have said earlier, I think melb Wireless is a great idea.

2.  I have pointed out some bandwidth will be lost to people using Melb
Wireless
    for commercial purposes.

3.  There is nothing in this world that is Free. even Death incures a
Tax.

4.  There are laws that people should abide by and Melb-Wireless will be
subject to.

5.  Becuase its free or Public or community does not make it immune from
regulations.

6.  Having a "un-regulated or un-controlled" network will open its self
to abuse and
    eventual failure.

7.  If some one donates Time, money, equipement, facilities, you cannnot
expect
    a "reasonable service".

8.  Biggest attraction i have seen for wireless lan for a lot of people
is internet access,
    so where is the net access going to come from? If you read most
ISP's service aggreement,
    can not redistribute the internet, so guys with cable who intend to
supply some net content
    will be voiding their contracted aggreements, Fact.

9.  Another attraction for people is able to swap "Pirated Software"
(ooh bad word here).
    To spend many $$$ to gain access to P.D. software seems pointless to
me.
    And having written software before, i understand what time and money
is involved,
    and would be very upset if some one was ripping it off.

10. Some of the Costs in setting up wireless-lan seem to be slightly
mis-leading.
    It may be true that if you get given a PC here, or get a
discontinued item there the costs may be
    low. But if you want to set it up tommorrow with brand new reliable
Equipement, its far higher.
    If your car you bought from OS fails tommorrow, what service do you
get?
    So some locally and readily avaible pricing should be mentioned.

11. I thought this was supposed to be a forum we can discuss issues in a
adult manner
    instead of Clae resorting to using remarkes like "Comrade" or
"Lenin", i suppose you would like it
    if i mentioned to you or implied your a Gay, so keep it at a adult
level.

12. Also i am pusing the point of possible uses of the wireless lan,
other than what was mentioned
    above, their maybe some great application for it that some one has
not heard of.


My Opinions and issues i believe should be discussed..
