I guess convincing will not work. If they have Internet they will use
Internet.
I have sad experience with wireless communities. As Internet became
easily available for low price, such communities eroded. Peple simply
did not find it interesting to pay more for equipment to join wireless
community with limited Internet services that to simply pay for
commercial Internet access. And wireless communities do not have such
limitations in usage as HAM radio does.
I suppose it is better to target those that need such service, instead.
My idea is to provide communication for remote DX and contest locations
that are usually in rural places with bad or no Internet communication
infrastructure at all.
I do not strive to provide ISP quality services. If they can check
propagation info, DX cluster, exchange email, have communication with
other team members (in multi op contests teams for example) or use other
similar services, it will do.
