Howdy,

 te> But we've got to get folks interested first.  That's the hard part.

So I'm with you there.

I would love to get data flowing over the air - with no ongoing costs to a 3rd party, even if it was a slow speed. Building out (or optimising) a protocol to support this slow speed would be fun...

But to get to that point, I first need to invest in some equipment - which I'm willing to do.

Then I need to get licensed, which I'm willing to do too.

And if I figure out how to glue it all together, if nobody else uses it (and I cant use it to connect with somebody else), then I'm thinking its not worth the
effort :(

I believe range is low - so if I cant get traffic more than a few 100klms away, then the opportunity to find interest seems low too...
