| Think about deplying a telephone cable from your house to your neighbour. Now imagine that your neighbour would do the same with his neighbour, until the process covers a full neighbourhood or a city. And now imagine, thanks to these cables, to have the opportunity to freely speak with the people of the all city, using a community network. Now imagine, in addition to speaking for free, to be able to share pictures and movies using your PC. At last, imagine to get rid of all the cables (so without need of construction work) and to use the radiowaves. In particular we use 802.11 technology, also known as Wi-Fi. There exist Access Points (or Wireless Routers) that use 802.11 technology that using a ["Firmware Linux"] allow to realize this kind of networks at a reasonable price. | Think about deploying a telephone line from your house to your neighbour.

| Purtroppo attualmente in Italia, a differenza del resto del mondo, la legge non permette di creare liberamente collegamenti radio 802.11b/g (Wi-Fi) su suolo pubblico (vedi LeggiWireless). La situazione legislativa è molto fumosa (almeno per noi!) ma a quanto pare serve una licenza da radioamatore (che costa soldi e necessita del superamento di un esame), oppure una licenza (che costa soldi e deve essere "aggiornata" ad ogni cambiamento). Però la frequenza di 2.4 GHz dovrebbe essere libera e utilizzabile da tutti, tant'e' che non servono licenze ne' bolli per utilizzare il bluetooth (che opera sulla stessa frequenze dell'802.11b/g), come quello dei cellulari, su suolo pubblico. [[BR]] Per tornare alla domanda, non ti possiamo dire che puoi creare un nodo della rete. |
Unfortunately in Italy, unlike the rest of the World, the law doesn't seem to allow to freely create 802.11 (Wi-Fi) radio links on public spaces. The legislative situation is very unclear (at least for us!), but it seems that a radio-amateur license is necessary (but it costs money and getting through an exam), or a wi-fi license (that costs money and must be "updated" at every change). But the 2.4GHz frequency should be free and open to everybody, like bluetooth, that operates on the same spectrum of Wi-Fi, but without the need of licenses or fees.
