Welcome to WasabiNet, working to provide low-cost Mesh Wifi to Saint Louis, MO!

New Updates ...- Ben West presented at the Int'l Wireless Summit in Vienna! Check Updates for more.- We also presented recently at the Arch Reactor Open house in June 2010.- We submitted proposal in April 2010 to bring gigabit-speed Google Fiber to your area!Do you want $9.99/month wireless Internet without needing a telephone line, cable TV, or satellite? Do you want free email? Do you want to own your community's Internet network with your neighbors? Are you a local business owner looking to advertise and provide your customers convenient Internet access? Then drop us a line! We will use new Mesh Node technology to bring WiFi to Cherokee Street using inexpensive routers that you just hang on a wall, indoors or outdoors, no wires! Plus, the network will have a multi-lingual information portal with events, community updates, and ads from local businesses (including yours!), along with a public touch screen kiosk. The service is comparable in speed to conventional DSL. Help us put Cherokee on the Grid!How much it costs ...
