Well I'm back in NZ now, so I can start doing this

I too have a few servers in colo that we can use, but they're in the states. Are yours in NZ? If they are, may want to use mine as backup and use yours as primary.

I was thinking about this the other day, the only downfall for this idea is that you really need to get businesses involved. There's no point in having hotspots around people's houses as no one wants to sit on the street in their car and use the hotspot. It's better if it's at a cafe/bar/main street

Thoughts?
