Gray-Hoverman antenna is patent-free, DIY for under $10. The antennas pull signals up to 100 miles. What does that mean for wireless networks? I think it will impact on the MSP network dramatically in both terms of speed and reach. But, I am waiting for those who understand computers better than I do to explain it all.

I'm far away, but would enjoy making the trip to get together and work on stuff. Tom
