Well, mate, the reason why we have government funding is simple. The 802.11b standard has to be loaded down and tested under real conditions. We did not propose the guerilla networking aspect, merely just wireless networking as a whole when my partner wrote his application. The PuMA Aspect of the entire thing is a by-product. Not all of us have programming jobs, we don't all make enough money to buy an antenna to transmit 20+ miles. Therefore, when we saw this opportunity, we figured we could get the equipment at a decent price with the funds, maybe buy a little pizza and beer for the occasional WLAN party (what net research would be complete without testing how fast QIII runs on it?)and then go from there.
Seriously mates, who wouldn't let the gov pay you to start a revolutionary network that they would not have any control over? Like taking candy from a baby. All they want is some figures at the end of our research, which we'll provide from our pizza and beer stained lab books.
Cheers mate, hope this cleared things up.
