Here is the list of criteria which a node needs to meet in order to be an official PersonalTelco node. See NodeTypes for a list of all the different types of nodes:

All Nodes

  • Must be listed on the node map.

  • Must be on most of the time.
    • added 20030611

Gateway Node

  • The Node MUST provide an AccessPoint (ie. run in InfrastructureMode) and MUST NOT restrict access via WEP, 802.1x or any other mechanism.

  • The AccessPoint MUST broadcast its ESSID and have it set to www.personaltelco.net or www.personaltelco.net/nodeXXX (where XXX is the number from the node map). ESSID MUST be all lower case.

    • 20060222 Proposed change "or www.personaltelco.net/identifier where the identifier is the node name, number or other description."
    • 2006.05.27: I think that we should generally not encourage people to use any ESSID other than www.personaltelco.net unless they have a very good reason to do so. I guess that would be a SHOULD directive. (- KeeganQuinn)

  • The Network MUST provide open 1 and zero cost access to the internet and/or the "wireless cloud".

  • The AccessPoint The Node MUST serve IP addresses to clients via DHCP or IPv6 autoconfiguration.

  • The AccessPoint MUST be accessible from a public space (ie. can't require trespass or breaking and entering to get a usable signal).

  • The Node SHOULD run a CaptivePortal with the NodeSplashPages and display the AcceptableUseAgreement.

Repeater Node

  • The Node MUST connect at least two other repeater or gateway nodes together.

  • The Node MUST provide free peering and transit along the terms of the FreeNetworks Peer Agreement.


MUST, SHOULD, etc. directives as defined in RFC: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2119.html -RossOlson


Are we/did we adopt the FreeNetworks Peering Agreement? Yes, summer of 2004 after the FreeNetworks summit.
