melthebell Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 In light of recent spats around the world where governments have turned the net off for their minions I've often thought that there must be away of creating a truly citizen owned internet using radio signals (like citizens band) or daisy chain a relay system using wireless routers or something; is this kind of thing possible and are people actually doing this? dunno a workmate who doesnt have anything more technological than the wireless asked me that said why do you need one of the big isps and why cant you just connect yourself, tbh i was stumped lol, dunno, never thought about it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resident Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I've often thought about that, I know I have been completely lost with out it whenever I've moved and have had to wait to get it installed.

Long before Broadband and the internet as we now know it there were individuals that had computers that were connected to phone-lines, if you wanted to access them from your own computer you dialed in using a modem and essentially created a 2 computer network over the phone-line. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernStar Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Long before Broadband and the internet as we now know it there were individuals that had computers that were connected to phone-lines, if you wanted to access them from your own computer you dialed in using a modem and essentially created a 2 computer network over the phone-line. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_system I can remember doing just that but that still requires a reliance on companies and having to have a phone-line and bills to pay. dunno a workmate who doesnt have anything more technological than the wireless asked me that said why do you need one of the big isps and why cant you just connect yourself, tbh i was stumped lol, dunno, never thought about it lol I reckon it must be doable, but would require more than a bit of cooperation to get it going and everyone could have free internet and never have to bother with having to wait for a land-line to be installed or be left to the mercy of suppliers and the will of governments etc. I guess we just have to wait for someone to manufacture a Tran-ceiver/node server/handler type thing in a box.

VideoPro Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I wouldn't be able to do my job and have to go on the benefit. Then again, according to some on here I'd get a seven bedroom house, a gold plated Rolls Royce and all the Stella I can carry. Bring it on.
