Re:do-it-yourself community networks (Score 1)

Thats a great idea, but each little community net would need to have some type of beafy wired or fiber backbone, and I am not aware of wirless equipment that would handle that, maybe after a few years of WIMax stuff will be more readily available and affordable. I live in Philly, where we have a hughe number of communities made up of attached row homes, would be easy to make backbones on the attached segments, but would need to "hop" over streets etc...
