this stage the network is still in it's development stages. There are
little pockets of nodes popping up about the place. Every little bit
counts because of course once people see it working, they want to connect
to. If you were to link to your mate, and another mate found out another
block away, he could join in too, and so on. Eventually someone linking to
you will have a line of sight to another access point, and he can be used to
route traffic between the two, sort of doubling the amount of connections i
spose.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=350175404-20022002>Personally my connection isn't up and running, however
I will be linking to a mate about 250m away where we will be setting up an
access point because he has a good view of surrounding suburbs. From there
I know of a few people who could theoretically connect to us and probably would,
from there I know of other people who we could link to via other
people.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

said it's a progressive thing that will slowly grow. You've really got to
have faith and foresight to join in :)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
