[MLB-WIRELESS] Internet Feed offer.

[adamneat]

<shakes head>

200 perm 11Mbs connections all trying to access the 'Net via a 512K ? An ISP
with 200 56K dialups and a 512K line should be dragged over the coals for
dodgy/poor service; 200 3-6Mbs Wireless connections is just 10 times worse.

Read through the other mail threads today on this whole issue. Unless you're
wanting to pay for the carrier license and Melbourne Wireless leech of that,
you're idea won't fly.

Someone mentioned earlier ( I think it was Tony) that this is an Intranet,
NOT an Internet service. You cannot traverse non-licensed networks with
Internet / 3rd party data.
