Those are all great questions. I was thinking of adding some of my 44net IPs to my web
server so I could offer free web hosting for HAMS. All non-HAM sites would be on standard
public IPs.
I do have my DMR hotspots running on my 44net addresses since it is Amateur Radio
communications. I have the updated routed to go through my main Internet connection, so
the clarification on that would help.

Subject: [44net] Clarification on Terms of Service
Hi all,
The Terms of
Service<https://www.ardc.net/about/legal/terms-of-service/> states:
"Your license permits You to use certain addresses exclusively for the purpose of
Amateur Radio communications and experimentation, or other special uses as may be agreed
to by ARDC"
I was wondering if this was clarified anywhere with examples of acceptable use cases? A
few examples that I'm curious if they're permitted or not:
* Hosting a radio club website that's accessible from the public internet,
including from non radio amateurs.
* Providing general outbound internet access for radio amateurs connecting via RF,
whether its AX.25 or WiFi operating on the allocated amateur radio frequencies
* Hosting not strictly amateur radio services such as an IRC server for discussing
cars, but it's only reachable from other 44net addresses and RF users
* Providing general outbound internet access to servers and services that might need
to pull software updates from non-radio amateur servers.
* Providing connectivity to a radio amateur related server such as a DMR Master, to
other radio amateur related servers outside of 44net
Any guidance would be appreciated.
