Did anyone else see the thing about Bristol Wireless on the news tonight, it looks fucking cool. They're a community group providing free broadband via a Wi-Fi network, I think it's a really good idea. Here's their website:

Freedom did a front page on the issue in January, there's a huge project going on in Illinois being done by the Indymedia treasurer.

There was one in London, made up of anyone with a ifi router, with a big map of nodes. Cant remember its name. Actually there were a couple.
London is slowly going wifi now anyway, 3 boroughs have already one and the City is about to as well.

we're using the same one yeah? It goes off every now and then but usually i can reconnect within an hour, but yeah not very reliable. Hasn't bothered me so far but I know there'll come a time when I really need it and it won't work!
There's a similar scheme in Edinburgh called backnet.
