Does any one out there think that wireless access could eventualy

go to city and county wide. Just as FM and AM broadcasting is today. Its

got to happpen someday. Maybe it wishfull thinking, but there is already an underground of WiFi pirater's out there building wireless

access nodes in small sections of a city. i read an artical in a computer techonlogy zine about how these pirate wireless node are running off of

a laptop, a wireless router , WiFi card and a homemade antenna made out of a pringles can. Supposedly if someone were to go to central park

in NYCity with a laptop and a wireless card you can hop right on to a

pirated wireless stream.



The possiblities would be vast when an entire city is wirelessly linked with the world. city, state, goverment, hacker etc...



The technology is there, almost, even radio stations could benifit .

Fear will be the bigest hurdle.



There must some web sites out there with info on the current developments..just have'nt had a chance to search....maybe some one

can help and provide links for everyone in Mac land....thanx....
