[MLB-WIRELESS] BarCampMelbourne: Getting internet access for a weekend

[Victor]

I can personally vouch for the effectiveness of the system that is mentioned
by Mike.
I had loaned internet from Mike for a month or two that worked flawlessly
(so long as my side of the connection didn't screw up). Connected through
one of his gateways.

+1 for simple system! (from an end-user)

Just means that if there's anyone else nearby who picks up the network not
involved with your group, won't hijack off the connection and use and abuse
it.
