[Berlin-wireless] Alternate radio internet network

[Loria]

Hi,

which frequencies do you intend to use ?
If you are no HAM , you will be restricted to very few frequencies ..
(ism bands)…

This may require people to load balance if their server is very active or to reduce the amount of data they serve on a request or something, whatever necessary to meet this time limit.

You might use the LORA Wan stuff …

> Because assuming I only need to design a protocol, I just need to create a web server of a certain kind. People can share the locations of their servers, exactly like a URL for HTTP, or an email address for IMAP. As long as it conforms to the “standards” in a way (I’m not sure how to enforce that, like a protocol in Swift or an interface in Java), it’s a valid server - just like a REST API I believe can be written in any language but it just respond to things like GET requests and so on.

No, Freifunk is managing and building WLAN/WIFi based Networks, which ate free to be used by everyone. Also it is independent of govermentoperations …
