[MLB-WIRELESS] Fw: This wireless thingy!? w00t!

[Robert Farrar]

Hello Matt,

I am about 450km south of you in Mt Gambier and things are moving right along with wireless down our way, check out our network at :-

http://www.nodedb.com/australia/sa/mt%20gambier/?

Now being so far away from you at this stage we can't linkup our network to you unless we spend about $40,000.00 on a 2 way satellite link with www.apertura.com.au, but until then you might like to get in touch with the Adelaide group Air-Stream at :-

Regards,

Robert Farrar
Mount Gambier, SA

  Hey..

  My name is Matthew Pikusa (ic3solo to some :D) and my mum and I play online games in the Adelaide Hills. Due to telstra *cough* gheystra *cough* putting us at about 6 kms from the exchange, we can only just barly manage with IDSN speeds. This isnt that fast. We were wondering, if you were going to include little old adeliade in your grand scheme of world domination, whoops, i mean wireless internet. We were thinking, we have direct line-of-sight to mt. lofty (highest point in SA), and you could link up Mt. Lofty with like the State bank building (highest point in adelaide) and we'll all be w00ting and extremly happy to say the least. Also, just 1 more question: what connection would the wireless ppl get to the internet, cause its all good to 0wn at 10 ms ping to ya neighbour, but it kinda defeats the purpose if you get about 300 ms to the internet. I know about the legistation and all, but what connection would you have?

  Thanks man.. my mum and i are really excitied about this..
