A priority for the Mesh Wifi effort needs to be to install wired-access 
points along the UC2B backbone for point-to-point connections from the 
UC2B Backbone to other MeshWifi nodes in remote corners of 
Urbana-Champaign.  To fan-out wireless from the backbone.

Should this be a secondary effort?  E.g., petition the UC2B applicant, 
after they have received their installation, are up and running -- to 
put the Mesh-Wifi antenna up on their facility?   And have the remote 
access site established for the other end of the point-to-point 
connection.  If the IMC has no physical location along the UC2B 
backbone, then we will have to piggy-back on someone else's
location.
