Manchester Wireless

Manchester Wireless is a group of people dedicated to setting up a free, public wireless network in Manchester. They believe that the data networks of the future will be as important infrastructure as roads and railways, and it is vital that these networks are not monopolised by a small few, but are run in the interests of the local community.

Manchester Wireless aims to create a city-wide wireless network using freely available off-the-shelf hardware, and free, open-source software.

People interested in joining in the project should join the mailing list for general discussion and debate.

The website has only been up for a month, but already there has been quite a lot of interest. A few people from Manchester Wireless are working towards setting up links across Fallowfield and Withington, and there are a couple of active nodes in and around the city centre. More detailed information can be found at the website.
