OMGosh we have one of the routers!!!!!
The antenna is something we would need to get. So would this help if WideOpenWest cut our ISP?
Thanks in advance!
Here is the bill...

Thanks for the links.
A Senate bill would offer President Obama emergency control of the Internet and may give him a "kill switch" to shut down online traffic by seizing private networks -- a move cybersecurity experts worry will choke off industry and civil liberties.
I think I saw this movie. I know I read a book series about this.
Thanks for your post.
They can shut that down too if they want (IE, no licenses, and they can jamb the frequencies of unencrypted radios).
It's 11:59 on Radio Free America; this is Uncle Sam, with music, and the truth until dawn. Right now I've got a few words for some of our brothers and sisters in the occupied zone: "the chair is against the wall, the chair is against the wall", "john has a long mustache, john has a long mustache". It's twelve o'clock, American, another day closer to victory. And for all of you out there, on, or behind the line, this is your song.

Here’s an idea. We have an emergency telephone plan at work. If something happens, one person is designated to call another person who calls another person and so on and so on. It would be a start.
How about all the coal mines in Illinois?
This is good so we can communicate with each other, but what about getting news from online sources?
Are you still holding my spot in TX?
I’ll bring Chocolate Chip Cookies if you share your powergrid.

Cell phones, (radio too, quite possibly), tv, internet, regular phone lines may all be either out or compromised. Be able to get the message out without appearing to be doing anything but having an innocuous conversation.
Simple physical signals work, too, from the position of yard gnomes to the curtains in your windows, anything can be used as a 'dead drop' message to those who are in the know and who go by your place.
Now is the time to do it. When you need it, it will be too late.
An outdoor antenna with DD-WRT would help you find other wireless routers, and if you know someone who’s willing to let you connect you can use the connection to their network to easily share files, printers, etc even if everyone’s cut off from their ISP.
Along with that is FR on Facebook, Free Dominion’s FReeper room and the Yahoo Group.
Thanks!!!!
I’m going to get the DH working on this ASAP
“That is how I viewed the C4C program. They taxed the destruction to boot. A socialist's twofer.”
Bingo! Do the math!
500,000 cars destroyed. Say average value was $2,000.
That is $1,000,000,000 of wealth destroyed.
To pay to have the cars destroyed, the government borrows 500,000 x $4,500 = 2,250,000,000
To buy the news cars individuals borrow 500,000 x $20,000 = 10,000,000,000
So, we have destroyed $1 Billion worth of assets and taken on $12.5 Billion of new debt. That is before the environmental disaster of disposing of 500,000 destroyed automobiles. The Obama administration is pointing to the program as a raging success.
Idiots.

So let me get this straight - Snowe and Rockefeller are basically saying the government can protect individual energy/power/sensitive outlets from cyber attack so they seek some type of ‘emergency’ power to control our entire internet access ability instead?
What is the DEAL with Olympia Snowe?
