well i think it would be obvious to combine city funds
and the mesh network with shotspotter, but i wouldn't be surprised
if a lot of people were opposed for various reasons.
i feel that if our lisence is strong enough, we could accept money
and utility poles (and electricity) from the city without being
forced to do anything unethical.

Is there a map and count of how many of
these there are, how would those positions overlay as part of a
mesh network. If there's a bunch of spots with power on a
pole, that seems quite useful.

what do people think of the shotspotter system installed
in oakland?
it's a network of microphones on telephone poles, each
with a GPS (for a precise clock) and a network connection. When
a gunshot-like sound is detected,
they send the sound and its precise timing to a central
server that determines the location of the shot, and tells the
police to go there.
some people have expressed concern that the microphones
are used to spy on people, but it would be impossible to hear a
conversation from the top of a
telephone pole that wasnt already loud enough to be heard
inside nearby houses (or the phone in your pocket).
apparently the city pays $264,000 per year to keep
shotspotter going. I think sudoroom people could do it for much
less if they thought it was a useful
thing. They would be discontinuing it to save money, or
perhaps to avoid having to send cops to do actual work once in a
while...
i mean.. sending police toward the gunfire? sounds like a
good idea...
