Site member Matthew M. is one of many who've ask me for advice about starting a rural Internet Service Provider (ISP) business. Matthew's idea is to build a mesh network based on Open Source technology and interface it through a WiMax base station. That isn't cheap and may take a long time to pay back.

While community volunteer projects like the Jalalabad Fab-Fi Mesh Network are proving successful and making the world a better place, I'm personally I'm not a big fan of for-profit business models around providing generic Internet access.

Hi everyone

I am new to this forum and so decided to say a quick ‘hello there’ to everybody. I pass most of my spare time on the web and so will enjoy getting stuck in. Am I allowed to add a link?

I have a site for best web traffic sites – I’d love it if you could all stop by and enroll! ;)
