you have to start somewhere. i am not saying it will be the world wide web in a day. just a new way to do things that may have the ability to be less controlled for a while. yes, it may be far fetched but when i graduated high school in 1988 i had never heard of the internet.<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>

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.<div>

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