class=MsoNormal>As an example – connecting to the Seattle MeshNet. As I
read it, the MeshNet is non-amateur. Are we looking to be a generic
carrier grade ISP? If so, then this will work, but we won’t be able to
use amateur frequencies to do it. Similar question for connecting
firehalls down south – if we are sticking to strictly amateur uses, then the
usage by laptops and other devices at a firehall would be limited to amateur
related uses – i.e. – no non-hams using it.<o:p></o:p></P>
