Is anyone interested in starting one of these up in PTA?

Here's some links. Cause I will co-operate. I dunno what we need but we will need lots of users. And then a High Site or something. It would be awesome to eventually link to the Centurion/JHB WUG

So yeah...anyone in?

Okay here's an idea. How about we all add our placemarks on google earth to see where we can find dudes. It seems we will need to get a high site which is like a tower or server or something. But it costs quite a penny so we'll have to club together to get one

WiK1d not tryin to be negative but realistic.

I wanted to join the PWP network once before and spoke to some
Codewarrior guy and he told me about the whole thing.

even if you get lots of people to pay for the high site
who's going to be responsible for it? what if you are responsible and people
back out?

Edit:
Unless you can find someone willing to join with their house as a high sight.

I also asked them why dont they make flyers and let people know about it.
explaining to them.

But then he said the PWP network is not for everyone. Duno whty he said that.

But I'm highly interested in this, I think you should market this some how
maybe make flyers and start ur own network if it becomes successfull
surly PWP would want to be apart.

Sorry Edit Again: :lol:

I can see an AP called Rooidak & marconi.
The Rooidak signal is bad could only find it using my PSP outside.
and the Marcone had 20% signal strength , but marconi is probly someones Telkom ADSL AP.
