Largest Australian Wireless Network!

An 800,000 square kilometer 802.11b wireless lan network has just gone live in the state of New South Wales, Australia, to connect rural towns to the internet whom are currently unable to get DSL. 75 towns are now online, connecting to Debian based Linux satellite routers.
