[Berlin-wireless] talk about Freifunk at the MANIAC Challenge Workshop

[Sven-Ola Tuecke]

Hi Workshop,

the main incentive here is free-and-unlicensed spectrum. Obviously a
strategic resource everyone depends on. Pleas do not hesitate and demand
*more* spectrum for this kind of applications and business models.

Kindly // Sven-Ola
