[Geowanking] wherecamp 2009 space

[Mike Liebhold]

Aside from no NDAs and good vibes,  a massive net connection is a base 
requirement. I remember  finding very cool venue in the Presidio, for an 
early iftf.org  geo event in 2004, that had no broadband. We had to 
sweet talk SFlan into deflecting signal into our space  from the 
Internet Archive.  These days,  if we find  a space with no net access, 
I guess we could round up a bunch  EV-DO and Edge enabled  wifi base 
stations, asssuming decent signal strength.

Seriously, what do we need?   10-40mbits per person  x  n wherecampers ? 

- Mike
