Wireless Internet as Defense Tool

[Papewaio]

Oh come on. The military delivers liberty. What country acheived liberty without bloodshed in an acceptable period of time?

Australian Commonwealth as opposed to its composite countries...

As for wireless internet it ain't like radio. It is a two (or more) way communication, when you search you need to talk to the tower. Just look at how expensive it is to setup internet for phones and there are lots of nearby towers... look at the bandwidth compared with broadband.

What you are suggesting is a system like satellite phones... very very expensive, and very very low bandwidth.

EDIT: Note that with most wireless networking technologies the connection speed is based on the slowest member to join the node... so if the Peoples Government wanted to slow it down all they need to join one member that had a 9600 Baud just to make it painful. No need for expensive filtering or manpower, just an electronic clog. Or make a duplicate gateway nearby/ triangulate the broadcasts and send in the police... more sophistication and manpower but not nuclear rocket science.
