'Parasitic grid' wireless movement may threaten telecom profits

"On the West Coast, the movement started in Seattle Capitol Hill neighborhood, which already had a large concentration of technically oriented residents, according to one of its founders, Matt Westervelt."

This is really cool. It's basically a neighborhood approach to networking, where people in a neighborhood set up their own wireless LAN at their own expense. Apparently there's one in Capitol Hill, though I currently have no idea how I might connect into it. :)
