   'Welcome to the Mesh, Brother': Guerrilla Wi-Fi Comes to New York   
      
   NYC Mesh, a band of a few dozen tech volunteers, takes on Verizon and   
   the big "incumbent providers," with the promise of inexpensive   
   community internet.

   Daniel Heredia peered across rooftops, surveying the derelict   
   satellite dishes and rusty television antennas of Brownsville,   
   Brooklyn. Wearing a motorcycle jacket and boots, he crouched on Andre   
   Cambridge's roof, trying to see if he had a clear line of   
   sight to the Riverdale Avenue Community School a half-mile off. A   
   large tree was possibly in the way.
