- Where are these projects mainly located?
They are right across the world, including belgium and czech. However they are not in Gosport or Porstmouth but in SOUTHAMPTON!? Come on people! I want free wireless!!
- Why have they been created?
So people can by pass the companys who gain from selling people broadband by giving everyone free wireless access whereever they are using a network of wireless access points on peoples houses and on public places, for example piers.
- What groups do they serve and in what way?
They serve everyone and give them wireless access to the internet for their laptops and PDAs, this is good because people can go to the beach and still be able to keep in touch with people at work. The only disadvantage for that is they cannot access those places inTRANnet.
- Have they, and/or will they have, any impact on the digital divide?
Hopefully people accross the world will start to use this to bring wireless internet to the rest of the world until some one decides to shoot off a few satalittes to cover the whole world with super fast broadband for a small fee taken through tax (Only about £0.50 per person per week so £2.00 a month to keep it running per country. (Maybe more if you are some type of money hungry tycoon.))
