I am no expert on the subject but when thinking about the implications of
WIFI and the improved performance of the hardware (reach, connectivity,
interoperability), I can't avoid thinking of a community of WIFI equipment
owners (individuals not operators). If a community develops and an
agrrement is put in place, the whole community -if geographically seamless-
could share freely its resources between users as long as each member has
the capability to re-transmit other users data. This would in fact make
mobile operators obsolete and people would then be able to talk for free .
Does anyone here know of any such iniciative in the world or any practical
example of this? Is any such community developing?
Thanks!
