I was installing antennas for Ripnet around Brockville. In Ottawa, Storm serves the flat, open areas. It is more difficult to serve the hilly, wooded areas. Each location is different. Many benefit from a nice tall DMX tower. When you can't get line-of-sight to a Storm tower, what then? We need cooperation, where homeowners relay connections to others who have line-of-sight to them. Some work is needed to organize this all. What is the financial model? Can we work with SimplySurf? For fun: there was a homeowner who did not have line-of-sight to Ripnet, but was a mile away from a large industrial building that gave a good reflection. Connected! Another homeowner had a tower, but a tree blocked the line-of-sight. With a 10' mast extended horizontally from the top of the tower, Connected! cheers -- Rick -- Rick Leir 613-828-8289 -> rick http://www.leirtech.com/rick/ AT leirtech DOT com
