[ColumnNetwork.org] BumpNet is a public wireless network that only supports a maximum number of connected clients. When a new person joins the network, the first person on the queue is “bumped”
Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.
[Wireless - wireless.engadget.com] BumpNet social experimentation through frustration >: Jonah Brucker-Cohen is hoping that his latest project, BumpNet, will determine if people’s behaviours can change by simply attaching rules to communications infrastructures, and he’s doing it in a way that’s sure to test the patience of its participants. BumpNet itself is a public wireless network, but one with a maximum limit on the number of connected clients —
[enginerd] BumpNet: So if you are a user of thie Bumpnet network and decide to connect, then the user who is currently first on the queue will be "bumped out", ie., will not have access to the network!
[We-make-money-not-art.com] we make money not art: When a new person joins the network, the first person on the queue is "bumped" or dissallowed access to the connection and network. Like Jonah Brucker-Cohen's previous work, BumpList, the focus of the project is to determine if by attaching simple rules to communication infrastructures, the method and manner of connectivity and behaviors of people connecting will change over time.
[Turbulence.org] networked_performance: Like its predecessor: BumpList (an email community built around the same principles), the focus of the project is to determine if by attaching simple rules to communication infrastructures, the method and manner of connectivity and behaviors of people connecting will change over time.
