Wireless Networks in Launceston
Wireless networks in Launceston were a lot slower to take off than in Hobart, but is to be expected with a smaller population. Several small peer-to-peer links were tested, but no major infrastructure was rolled out.
At the end of January 2004, two groups appeared, around the same time. One group was unnamed (though was working under the TasWireless name), the other was called TasGrid.
Both groups currently have two major access points each with around 10-12 nodes being on each. Neither group appears to be very active at the present time.
Launceston Wireless has started forming some connections to hopefully create a working city wide public network

Famous quotes containing the word networks:
“The great networks are there to prove that ideas can be canned like spaghetti. If everything ends up by tasting like everything else, is that not the evidence that it has been properly cooked?”
—Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)
