I have always had a vision of the world becoming a huge wireless intranet, where in every neighbourhood someone is running a router with DHCP, which connects to the next popular router in the next suburb. Sort of like a Peer-to-peer network. Everyone joins the popular server. With a 5 watt dB transmitter, this wouldn't be a problem.

Like, you mean the future can eliminate the ISP?
What do the ISP's give us now? A wired connection and a modem?

How could one have an internet by wirelessly connecting to your neighbor and them their neighbor and their neighbors. Seems like it can be done, but how? How can this be organized into a functional thing.

Haha, lol.

Bell and Tellus? You mean the two companies that are pretty much destined for failure in the future thanks to Cogeco, Rogers, and Virgin?

Give me a break.
Bell has been overcharging for their services for a long time now, and now that theres competition and Bell is losing customers, instead of competing, they jack their prices even higher to cover the cost of the lost customers.
They wont be around much longer.

Especially if they try to pull this crap on their customers.

Pretty much anywhere Bell is situated, Rogers, and Cogeco are available.
Virgin is to be releasing greater ISP services other than wireless soon as well.

Bell hasn't got a snowballs chance in hell in the face of the new competition.

They're done for.

$%$# Off, this is total garbage...

I spend so much time everyday on the internet reading and learning, theres so much good stuff on here publish by everyday people, what makes you think I'd want to be brainwashed even more by letting something like this happen... safe internet, bull, total... they're just trying to brainwash us even more by making some new network standard garbage.. ARGHHH!

2012.......



2012 is the year we cease to be humans, for we will enter the age of being treated worse than animals.

A boot, stamping on a face again and again, for all eternity.

Ummm or would could all just go on to the next plane of existance, the many astral planes......

If there internet came down to a service such as this, I would simply give up service. I lived without the internet before, and I do not rely on it now, only for entertainment.

Been outside lately? Its pretty warm!

No-you-wont.

We say we will boycott, but having less is still better than none. The internet will lose it's wild west-ness slow enough to keep us from disconnecting.
