I once thought about it. The biggest stumbling block is NCC. Yep, the city rogues will demand a license for you to string cables around. So in my mind, the best work around is doing wifi and a mesh protocol such as aodv. Of course for this, you need some testlab. Maybe try it around UONBI, mesh the student halls, monitor the traffic patterns... On Fri, Jul 24, 2009 at 11:21 AM, ibtisam jamal <ibty.jamal@gmail.com>wrote:
Hi Aki,
building the backbone and backhauling is not that much of an issue as long as we have that pipe with redundancy.The lastmile connectivity is the killer,there is no flexibility lucky those who already have WIMAX and those who have plans for metros but the metro will only bring the backbone POP closer.How do we connect the client to POP.....
Everything is back to layer 2 vpns and Ethernet technology.
How flexible can we be the only lastmile is radio links(microtiks n the likes) ....can we stretch our heads kidogo here ? or thats the only option.
