People are getting excited about co-op 802.11 radio networking
of neighborhood(s) (eg. Consume net, Personal Telco Project) but what
would be really cool would be to get fibre cards for our linux boxes
and string fibre around the neighbourhood.

Of course I imagine the problem (appart from where exactly you string
the fibre) would be cost and availability of fibre cards. Does anyone
know if sutable beasts exist?
