This sounds wonderful, I'd love to have that kind of network again. I'm curious about how they went about the technical side of things - if it's all tunneled together or if they're running cables to nearby houses and setting up wireless relays or something. There's so much cool stuff we could bring back if we weren't under constant attack from the internet at large.

Maybe they are using something like Layer 2 over VPN ? I have been facinated by the same idea for quite some time. Here are a few cool solutions I have found so far:

Unfortuneatly I am (yet) to tech iliterate to pull something like this of my self. But It sure would be cool for the future
