I've\nlearned a great deal on this list by discussing these things with you and\nothers; I hope you won't mind if I present an opposing view below.\n\n\nAlthough the vision statement and User Classes don't specify this idea, I\nthink we have to imagine that one important use of Eagle's high bandwidth\ndata channel during a crisis would be to provide an Internet link to\nemergency service providers. I've outlined this in a previous letter to\nthis list, but I can't find it on the web, so I'll describe it again.\n\nI believe that the best thing you can do for emergency services is to allow\nthem to use the communication tools with which they are most familiar:\nemail, chat, even web forms and the like. Yes, people are trained in other\nmeans, but in our day-to-day interactions, TCP/IP rules. Putting this in\nLuc's terms above, the 'easy to use stuff' should be easy for the emergency\nfolks, first and foremost; and today, easy means Internet.\n\nIf that's the case, Eagle's data link could provide a pool of Internet\nconnectivity within a striken area, allowing workers to do their thing as\nnaturally as possible. I believe 256 kbps was the max mentioned in the\nrecent article. A ground station with a sufficient Internet connection\n(perhaps one associated with an educational institution), would provide one\nend of the connection with a solid link to Eagle. The small dish station\nenvisaged by the Design team, connected to a wireless laptop would provide\nthe other end. Indeed, using a Knoppix-like boot disk, any laptop with\nremotely appropriate hardware could do the job. This laptop's wireless\nwould act as a managed mode 802.11 hub. Then, our emergency workers just\nboot up their hardware, and they're there: emailing, using online chat,\nuploading photos and videos, whatever. 256 kbps could be split pretty far.\n\nNote, however, that with this use, the station is right in the middle of\nthe 802.11 activity. If it were unable to hear well under such\ncircumstances, this use would not be possible. (QRM'ing the emergency\n802.11 traffic isn't a problem: the link laptop would be configured to make\nits connections on an unaffected 802.11b/g channel.) \n\nThe world and the ham community has the right to ask us to justify our\ndedicated bandwidth. I think the picture above has the virtues of being\nboth compelling and honest: I think Eagle could not only give us all a \ngreat deal of fun, but also improve some peoples' lives in hard times.\n\nFor this reason, I think we should lash up an Internet link of this sort as\nsoon as the digital side starts to come together, put it at either end of\nthe Dayton Hamvention, show it off at other events, play with it across\ntown as part of the QRO 802.11 links that hams are already exploring. Our\nmessage should be this: \"Eagle's mode UV will be cleaner and more fun than\nany P3 bird; and Eagle's emergency capabilities will be out of this world.\"\nIn saying this, I do not mean to reject the well-thought out caveats and\nconcerns expressed on this list, but I do want to register my enthusiasm\nfor the digital vision of the Eagle series, especially as tweaked above.\n\nRespectfully, 73,\n\nBruce\nVE9QRP\n",
