A very good summary of the grass roots community wireless Internet movement:

"The idea of building citywide wireless networks from the community level
was suspiciously simple back in 2000, though the plans sounded like the work
of underground revolutionaries.

"All of us were very idealistic, and all quite strongly opinionated," said
Adam Shand, founder of The Personal Telco Project
http://www.personaltelco.net, which had visions of such a network in
Portland, Ore.

Seattle Wireless http://www.seattlewireless.net probably represents one of
the highest achievements in the area of neutrality, because they've built a
network of what looks like now over a dozen nodes that use an open-source
mesh routing protocol to create a neutral medium....."
