What a great idea! Take Linksys routers and convert them into CHEAP, HEADLESS Linux computers... Put some open source wizardry on top and voila, $50/yr wifi hotspot as long as you have your own existing high speed to the facility.
The folks at Wireless Toronto are making it happen, inspired by Ils sans Fils... If you have some time consider volunteering with them... They are awesome guys and gals. And they have a cool Google Map for their spots. We soon hope to have for our 300+ hotspots that we've collected since May 2002 with thanks from some volunteers.
