Mesh networks are cool. Its just a WUG though :) - they don't clam to provide internet access.

"ultra-fast and UNLIMITED use personal Wireless Internet Access!"

"allows one to connect to the Internet using the computer’s build-in Wireless"

"average International bandwidth is 2Mbps"

etc

I'm pretty sure they're trying to sell internet access, why would anyone pay R150 every month to connect to a WUG with their own WiFi cards.
 
Don't even waste any more text replying here people... It's a lost cause!
 
Finally, anyone can browse the World Wide Web, send and receive e-mails, speak to anyone in the world via voice over IP (VoIP), watch online videos on Google and Joost, or select one from our video libraries (Video-On-Demand).

Don't you need some sort of license for the distribution of copyrighted content esp when you charging for the content? ( this is assuming that movies/series etc are covered by the video-on-demand )

Look around here for a thread with "community wifi mesh" in it.
We asked all these questions.

For what its worth - I do not see this working. I could be wrong of course.

Lets do some calcs:
In order for PCs to connect with wifi cards alone, I rate one pc every 50m or so to make the "mesh" [1] - thats a LOT of PCs in a (say) 5km radius.

All those people are going to get 2MBps? How?

Anyways, let us see what happens - I have been wrong before.



[1] my PC NIC is not visible to my notebook from around 25m, so I am being generous.
