You say you want a revolution?

Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio, replied:
"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
  • The NoCat Network is a free community network built with fixed-point 802.11b links.
  • Microwave radio requires line-of-sight over long distances.
  • Who can see whom?
  • Suppose we have 100 participants.
  • 100 x 99 ÷ 2 = 4,950 possible links!
