Not sure how well it worked as I didn't have any wireless kit and left Derby shortly afterwards. Judging by Gordon's comments, maybe a commercial venture these days wouldn't be much good but maybe it's something we could look into to provide wifi access to certain areas. Couple this with a mobile LTSP kit and we could run things like internet tents :-) Or maybe I'm just letting the geek in me get too enthusiastic. I would be interested in playing with this sort of kit though, I doubt though I'd get very good line of site where I live.
