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>.
