<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the past, it has been suggested that we
start linking some nodes<BR>via the Internet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Because of tight download limits and charges
for excess, this has<BR>been unrealistic.<BR>But recently, more ISPs have
been giving customers free intrastate<BR>user-user traffic.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I propose that users of ISPs that give their
users a free P2P service<BR>get together and try out some
tunnelling.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the moment Netspace, Datafast, Alphalink and
Request offer this<BR>service.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To start with, I'm after expressions of
interest from users who have<BR>access to services with those providers then
I can discuss it with<BR>the rest of the routing/addressing working group to
perhaps come up<BR>with some instructions for people and finalize an address
allocation<BR>system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think this would be a great way to start
expanding the mesh as it<BR>slowly forms and getting it into ditches and
places where it would be<BR>difficult to get wireless
connectivity.</FONT></DIV>
