pghwireless

does anyone still look at this pghwireless site???? or is it just dead now?

Hi All,

Native Burgher living down here in Delray Beach, FL. and wanted to chime in on some stuff that may interest some people...

I wrote a white paper about the future of municipal broadband wireless and it has been picked up by GovTech. http://www.govtech.com/dc under 'Special Focus', article 'Broadband Future'

It talks about 3.65 WiMax (coming soon to Delray using AirSpan), but mainly about how the FCC screwed up the 2.5GHz rules and the 700MHz auction.

Hope all is well up er' and GO PENS!

Hello,

I'm a French PhD student in sociology. My research focuses on "innovations made by and for users". I have decided to particularly focus on "Wireless Community Networks" which are illustrative of a new type of approach more autonomous, alternative and civic.
For the last two years, I have been interviewing French members of "Wifi Community Networks"; I talked with them about their commitment and about the life of their project. Now, I carry on with my research and I propose you to answer to my questionnaire. This questionnaire will enable me to gather data on a wider population: members of European and North American "Wireless Communities".

Anyone with strong Wireless skills please contact me asap.

I am looking for WiFi in Lawrenceville. If you can give me any tips/advice that would be great. Thanks!

Hello,

Can anyone connect to WifiPittsburgh with a Macbook? I am able to connect and get an IP address, but I cannot connect to anything. I can't even ping the gateway.

Thanks for your help-

I've been speaking with Jon from the Shadyside Inn, and he has done something that no other group in Pittsburgh has been able to do -- singlehandedly setup a WiFi network in Shadyside, which is also the first ever memorial wireless network. Most of the other implimentations that were attempted in the area have relied upon point-to-point links (Grok), expensive third-party hardware (Hobnob), community support (pghwireless), or a payment stream (Downtown WiFi).

More weirdness from Alaska, reported by boingboing. This time, someone was using a free wireless network provided by a library from his car, which got the laptop confiscated, and the man charged with theft of services. There's also a few links about other recent stories of misinformed authorities. Additionally, CNET has an article about WiFi Mooching and the Law, which does a good job of explaining about how the related (yet unrelated) laws work: Y

dorkbotpgh has been attracting a bit of attention in the local news recently (Trib, PopCity, Citypaper).

I just got a note via Chintu from Helium Networks about one of his new projects, Wireless Sensor Network Planet which is an on-line community for everyone who desires to learn, share (contribute) and grow their knowledge about the
wireless sensor networks.
