It also appears iinet have free intrastate p2p traffic.

  I might have been mistaken about Datafast... but the original idea still stands.

    In the past, it has been suggested that we start linking some nodes
    via the Internet.

    Because of tight download limits and charges for excess, this has
    been unrealistic.
    But recently, more ISPs have been giving customers free intrastate
    user-user traffic.

    I propose that users of ISPs that give their users a free P2P service
    get together and try out some tunnelling.

    At the moment Netspace, Datafast, Alphalink and Request offer this
    service.

    To start with, I'm after expressions of interest from users who have
    access to services with those providers then I can discuss it with
    the rest of the routing/addressing working group to perhaps come up
    with some instructions for people and finalize an address allocation
    system.

    I think this would be a great way to start expanding the mesh as it
    slowly forms and getting it into ditches and places where it would be
    difficult to get wireless connectivity.
