    • Network availability is a common problem for squats and field media centres, so let's use this as an opportunity to demonstrate the various solutions for the problem of limited bandwidth, i.e. setting up a squid proxy; filtering out advertisements; making a group agreement about not downloading large files or streaming video when people are trying to work; routing over 3G; QoS (per client and per port.)
