Hi, April -
I've been involved in the Adeline community redevelopment process in
Berkeley, and I also live practically across the street from the South
Berkeley library. While Max was explaining the Mesh topology today, I was
wondering whether it would be possible to collaborate with local libraries
to boost their wifi signal out into local communities.
The first question - and the one everyone thought you would be the most
expert on - is whether it would be wise to have any contact at all with
official government entities...?
On the bright side, it's a consistent source of paid-for wifi. The
bandwidth for downloads is not huge, but my understanding is the Mesh
signal would only allow for email and basic Internet browsing anyway.
What do you think? If it is safe to bring this up, I will propose it at the
next community redevelopment meeting.
