This all sounds great to me, and I trust your judgement. 

Since I can't attend, can you give an update on Wednesday night to share the details? How much does it cost? What hardware do we use now, and will it change? Is this plan in Sudo Room's name or Omni's? And can you share a copy of their terms of service?

Cheers,

Andrew R Gross, (he/him)

From a mounted mast, we can't hit anything north of the 24/580 bridge iirc

LMI is preferred due to being solar-powered. They have the same reseller/sharing terms as Sonic.

Monkeybrains would be cool if we can get it :) Omni is unfortunately surrounded by highways and condos, hence not being the hub of WiFi we'd love it to be...

Hi all,
  It seems important to know the costs before moving forward.
Also, I believe there were a few proposals on the table from my earlier thread about creating a point to point link?
One was to just have one of the neighbors get sonic/lmi fiber and shoot to them.
The other was to share internet with the long haul, just shoot it down shattuck, which would greatly support that struggling space that has the gigabit LMI service but it's a strain on the budget for us (LH).
Also, I remember being told that LMI is much preferred to Sonic due to its policies around resharing internet. I would want to know what Monkeybrains policy is, it feels contingent to ensure all decisions made don't impact the Mesh or other projects.
I'd like to suggest investigating these options before moving forward.  I would be interested in being in any conversations, installs, etc.
warmly,
ajay
