How about a wireless network for our LUG? I would say we use ipv6 addresses. From preliminary enquiries I have made, we should be able to setup a 802.11b MAN without much interference, with pretty nominal license fees of Rs 3000/yr/machine. There will be a slightly higher initial cost of 802.11b wireless modems, but I think that we can build our own for a much lower cost (Someone please check this by actually going to Lamington Road, my estimate is around 5K Rs).
AFAIK the range is limited to 100 mtrs. If you use an ISHM frequency (and rig up your own radio modem) your throughput will drop to 1200bps. Other frequencies require licenses from the police and DOT used to cost Rs.25000 per alloted frequency/p.a. and requires you to use only DOT approved equipment.
