The best thing so far is local intranets... We have a very successful one on TrainNode, which is a mobile hotspot that rides a commuter train in Seattle. Yes, it offers internet access as well, but people will dink around for 5-10 minutes. The intranet provides news, weather, travel information, communication/chat, etc. functions. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matt Savarino Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 11:01 AM To: SeattleWireless Talk List Subject: Re: CNN Sorry for the noob question, but I quess my assumption is that most SWN nodes would offer HTTP access to the Internet. Realizing that this is not a technical requirement to be a SWN node... What other services are commonly offered, and what other incentives are there to setup (or connect to) nodes? No offense, I guess my personal goal to get (and soon give) free wireless access to the web has overshadowed anything else.

That being said, some folks that have connected nodes within SWN can and do offer Internet access, but the underlying reality is that SWN does not. CNN has a news report about Seattle as the most un-wired city in the country.... No mention about Seattle Wireless..... _______________________________________________ Talk mailing list [email protected] http://seattlewireless.net/mailman/listinfo/talk _______________________________________________ Talk mailing list [email protected] http://seattlewireless.net/mailman/listinfo/talk
