Hi, My name is Todd Dickinson and I work as a developer in Champaign. Unfortunately, I live about 20 miles west of Champaign in Piatt County and about 20 years in the past; the only high speed internet access is wireless (Satellite or PrairieNet). It's unlikely that the small CATV company that serves my area will ever offer DSL and waiting for Verizon in this age of competition to upgrade equipment and plant is a last resort. I don't know the number of homes (users? nodes?) that it takes to make a sustainable wireless community project. I live in one of the subdivisions that has sprouted up along Hwy 10 (near White Heath), just on the other side of interstate I-72. I would like to get an idea of requirements to make a successful wireless community. A large number of homes are currently using the PrairieNet WIreless internet service now, so I would think that there is a lot of interest; the best dial-up speed we can get is approx 30kbs. Any information that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
