Is TCWUG (ie, wireless user group) a dead thing or a good place for wireless topics?<br>

It could be he meant internet (note: lowercase ' i ' ) to mean its basic term of network of networks, which could also have one or more paths to the (big ' I ') Internet.<br>
</devils advocate><br>
<br>
A large scale wireless network is difficult to manage. Also licensed frequencies are so much better to use in terms of signal interference but they cost non-zero dollars.<br>
I am not suggesting you quit trying but it will take a serious effort (read: lots of time) to actually deploy and maintain on an ongoing basis. This project is only passively interesting to me personally but I have no problems offering up moral support and assist on any periodic troubleshooting requests sent via the list here.<br>

Yes, technically you *could*, but just how much usefulness would a<br>
network with just you on it have? No access to your bank, Freenode,<br>
<a href="http://mn-linux.org" target="_blank">mn-linux.org</a>, Google, etc. "Critical mass" and "economy of scale" are<br>
pretty important concepts here.<br>
