Nigel Ballard operates the Joejava Wireless Consultancy (http://www.joejava.com) and serves as a board member and press liaison for Personal Telco (http://www.personaltelco.net), a nonprofit organization that builds community wireless networks in Portland, Ore. Thanks to the work of this group, Portland now has more than 40 hotspots where Wi-Fi users can access the Internet for free.
The idea caught on and Personal Telco installed Wi-Fi transmitter equipment in several Portland businesses, simultaneously installing hardware that keeps the internal networks of those companies safe from the anonymous outsiders using the Wi-Fi connection.
With few residential Wi-Fi users in the downtown area on which to rely, Personal Telco focused on businesses, asking companies with excess bandwidth to donate the resources for public use.
