I saw a short story on TV about people setting up a "internet bubble" in central park. Dose anyone know about it ? The guy made up the thing for under $100 and it fit in a small tuperwear container. How do I make one ?

Just a guess.

I suspect that the person either:

Created an antenna to grab someones wireless network signal.

Or, is broadcasting their own wireless network connection to a broadband internet connection.

As wireless networking, and ISPs get smarter about security and usage issues you can expect them to find ways to block these devices the same way the cable companies went to higher and higher level signal scrambling to prevent non-paying users from tapping in.
