		The OBAN project introduces an innovative approach to an open access network built upon the existing "privately owned" wireless LANs and the users' access lines (ADSL/VDSL, optical fibre, cable modems).
		By providing up to 25Mb/s shared capacity to the stationary and casually visiting users in a wireless LAN zone, the OBAN initiative is probably the only realistic alternative to realize the future 3G and 4G visions for mobile communication.
		The OBAN concept has the potential to integrate P2P communication into legacy networks, thus new market segments will be opened for network and service providers, and new and improved services can be offered to the customers.
