A couple of tidbits extracted from /.

"Free wireless nets":

(One of our bright young hacker types should compute the bandwidth
requirements of a "typical" user (right now someone who doesn't
need a video feed 8+ hours/day) and figure out the population
density that can be supported by a public "freenet" at 11 Mb/sec).

I'm pretty sure that my bandwidth requirements (perhaps a
mid-to-mid-high level user) could be supported by "freenet"
access).

(The programmers on the list ought to get a chuckle from
the 2nd URL).
