Ok….. time for more questions, now that the marathon meeting is over <g>.

A number of times I’ve heard potential uses that seem to blur the line between amateur and commercial, so my question is – how do we draw the line?

As an example – connecting to the Seattle MeshNet.  As I read it, the MeshNet is non-amateur.  Are we looking to be a generic carrier grade ISP?  If so, then this will work, but we won’t be able to use amateur frequencies to do it.  Similar question for connecting firehalls down south – if we are sticking to strictly amateur uses, then the usage by laptops and other devices at a firehall would be limited to amateur related uses – i.e. – no non-hams using it.

It may be that I’m just missing a big concept here, but I see a lot of blurring of the lines in conversation, and I think it needs to be better spelled out before we get in front of too many folks.

I’ll stop with this one for now, rather than continue to show my ignorance and unfamiliarity <g>.
