Hi - I'm looking for people to help research the status of Wi-Fi 
regulation around the world.

i need 3-4 people who are willing to research each of 50 or so 
countries. we'll use the gathered data to make a big map that will be 
featured on the Wireless Commons website to launch in late 
January/early February

you'll see you name in big lights, or at least in the credits for the 
completed project.

please contact me offlist

Any idea where the funding came from to do this.  It is
interesting that of the Manhattan libraries only one of
them is in midtown or even close to midtown.  It almost
looks like some sort of digital divide initiative.
