It got quite loud at times..... The end result was I am willing to donate time to map out in one location all of the data people send me with locations of POP's, fiber hotels and other inexpensive sources of bandwidth. This could be from any source like fiber (lit or dark) or companies that have bandwidth to sell. If there are WISP's who want to share the backbones they have, we can map them too. I basically just need a list of locations by lat and long or street address. If I can get enough different sources of data I will map it and make it available on line. The idea is that WISP's can see how far away from cheap backhaul they really are and then they can figure out a way to bring it to their location. This could also serve as a way to get regional groups together to build a mutually beneficial backbone. The mapping can have clickable information about each site if that is included in the data sent. If this starts to take off the idea was suggested that a national group or co-op be formed to manage this backbone so that one person or company could not bring down or segment part of the network. There were many ideas and issues brought up about this. I don't want to get this thread started on all of that. I really just want to see where were are with access to cheap bandwidth and how we might be able to stitch together an ad hoc backbone for the time being. Anyone who is interested in this project please send me an email with WISPBONE in the subject line. I will create a distribution list for now and if we get it going we can set up a list somewhere to have an online forum. To date I have no input from any of the people who were in the session. Just like most of these good ideas, I feel it will die because everyone is too busy with their own business and they hope someone else will get it going.
