It's interesting to note that the same person that runs Storm's
wireless division also host the list serve.
What the hell are you guys trying to get done?
Unfortunately I only read 1/8 of the listserv emails. I don't have allot
of extra time.

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!
