It is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. This is why there is a great need for firehoses i.e. guns. Government is like fire… It is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

This type of underground infrastructure could be used to pass sdata as well. I am currently hacking with a coupl of Sprint (Zytel) DSL modem to try to achieve communication. It this becomes successful, I will post an article on how to do the hack. Telephone wire is very cheap and can be used to build an infrastructure despite the wishes of the local despot. Another possibility is using laser light for crossborder communications. This is where hackers (both computer and electronics) have to step it to get the job done. I want to say to everyone that setting up the FreeWan infrastructure will not be easy because in order to run actual lines, the cooperation of all property owners on whos property which these lines are run is requires. Unlike the cartels and government, FreeWan operators and organizers do not have the power to force landowners to allow their property to be used for this purpose. Wireless is not appropriate for all areas, but it can be used where needed. Also, not all data has to pass over wires or the air, much of it can be carried in a pocket, the trunk of a vehicle or even on horseback in some areas, thanks to the large numbers of mass data storage devices.
