I once saw a TV-documentory on this, and more particular on communication and life for people living on the small poor islands-nations of the pacific ocean. They used some kind of HF-radio based system to sent messages from "post-offices" located on certain islands to other Islands. I never found what system they where actually using. All information I found on the net is either aimed at hams or emergency communications, or for (rich) owners of yachts. Does anybody know if these systems are used by "PTT"s in the world? BTW. According the documantory, the main problem for these island-nations was not really the technology and equipement, but find a good secure electricity-system which -by preference- is not dependent on (to be imported, so very expensive) petroleum.
