Right, I never assumed that people could make direct requests, as that 
would then be sharing the internet connection, but if Squid 
automatically cached everything that everyone downloaded, and we indexed 
all this data, we could have a nice little search engine you could check 
to see if "file X" is on the wlan before you get it off the net. 
Effectively this shares everyone's connections, but extremely indirectly.
