I’ve just joined FreeTheNet.ca by buying a Meraki Mini wireless mesh router and plugging it in.
By doing so I am providing support to the FreeTheNet wireless mesh movement and am also offering free wireless broadband access to any one within about 200 metres in any direction.
That means all the (200 or so) condos in the yet-to-be-completed Tapestry condo development, all my neighbours in several other 30-unit buildings, all the offices in the City Square shopping and office complex over half a block and across the street, probably all of Vancouver City Hall and the 100-room Plaza 500 hotel a block and a half over.
Now all we need to cover off
Just found your blog because of this post. Interesting stuff! I’ll check it out and see how it works locally near UBC….
