exactly... call me a dirty socialist, but I think monopolistic
infrastructure companies should be regulated :) When Telecom (then the post
office) was govt-owned, they at least had tax revenue to spend on
infrastructure development. Privatising such a service only works in an
environment with competition.

and not to mention cake-stalls and $1 raffle tickets :)

seriously though - the cost of a neighbourhood wireless network would lie
only in the access points, once you have one there's no monthly charges...
