[MLB-WIRELESS] Is Melbourne Wireless dead?

Yep, the increased dsl download limits from 3gb to 'more than enough'
took care of the p2p traffic and the iburst rollout took care of people
who wanted remote access back to their home servers.

There will always be people looking for advice on how to hook up a few
friends in their area etc but as far as a metro wide mesh network that
idea is dead and dusted.

I'll still be subscribing to both syd and mel wireless lists but traffic
will taper off a natural death.


Cheers from NY,

Dean

I've noticed over the last few months that the amount of email I get
from
the list has decreased from many every day, to maybe a few a week.

 Is Melbourne Wireless dead? All the reasons I joined are now taken care
of
by ADSL. Most of the work I see is simply people trying to hook up to
their
mates. Granted there is a bunch of dedicated few who still drive MW, but
is
that enough to stop MW being pointless?

 Thoughts?
