Wireless Internet for all

NewsFactor Network writes “There’s a movement that is gaining momentum and beating major wireless service providers. The movement aims to provide free or cheap(er) wireless access to everyone in a community. These pockets of homegrown wireless LANs are sprouting up in major cities and small towns from Sydney, Australia to Green Bay, Wisconsin.Thanks to the widely adopted 802.11b (or Wi-Fi) wireless standard and its ease of implementation, anybody could start a wireless LAN for less than US$300.”
