- IgorPartola 5y agoWow, that was straight and to the point breakdown of costs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jjUYOQMuZ4cRyTv1M5X8HGtrKFiW96_gNlfG8BBzRN0/edit#gid=0 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jjUYOQMuZ4cRyTv1M5X8... Honestly, this doesn't sound like a bad idea in my area. I can likely put the tower right on my own land and immediately cover a decently sized neighborhood.

- rohansingh 5y agoSure, here's some ideas: 1. Join the NYC Mesh Slack (slack.nycmesh.net) even if you're not in NYC, just to see how it's run. 2. Read Brian Hall's post, "How to start a community network": https://www.nycmesh.net/blog/how/ https://www.nycmesh.net/blog/how/ 3. Read Graham Castleton's "Start Your Own WISP" guide: https://startyourownisp.com/ https://startyourownisp.com/ 4. Look around and find folks in your area with a similar interest. If you're in or near a city of any size, I bet there's somebody who's already started or is trying to start something.
