WIRELESS NOMAD
Wireless Nomad is a non-profit cooperative based in Toronto, Canada providing subscriber-owned home and business internet along with free Wi-Fi wireless Internet access to Toronto residents. Free WiFi web access is available at each of the 70+ nodes, making it one of the largest free Wi-Fi networks in the country.
Instead of using Bell Sympatico's or Rogers Cable's high-speed Internet access services to provide service to their wireless access points, they are their own Internet Service Provider (ISP) under CRTC rules that compel large providers like Rogers and Bell to resell part of their bandwidth and DSL circuits to smaller ISPs at a regulated (tariffed) price. As of 2006, they charge C$33+GST per month to everyone who signs up for home internet service, which is less than Bell and Rogers charge for their highest-speed Internet access service. Business service is $55 a month. A WiFi network coverage map is available at the Locations page. The service covers many areas, mainly in the Toronto downtown area.
Wireless Nomad allows subsribers on residential accounts to operate servers. It is one of the few ISPs in Canada that allows this.
