They are in Cambridge. Why don't you call them? I'll ping them on behalf of Earth Treasury. Let me know if you find any more like them.
Thanks for your answers, Walter and Edward!I've written an email to First Mile Solutions, waiting for their reply now. Their web page already contained some pointers and even some material (photos and descriptions of Sneakernet equipment) I can use.

The title of the originalproposal (given to me) was "Disruptive Tolerant Networking for the Amazonas"(**).Sneakernet is the correct geek term. I see no point in creating yet more euphemisms, especially bafflegab euphemisms.
It's the original title, not mine. :)
Would be interesting as well, though I also need a certain amount of "scientific" work (i.e. referencing and quoting other papers).I can't help you with the literature, but I can help imagine a solution, and a social movement to get it working, with historical examples.
I couldn't help snickering at some part of the topic presentation, since it was all presented as brand-new. I've run a Fido node myself for several years some time ago. :) References to "old" solutions will be part of my talk as well, of course.Do you operate a proxy for intermittent internet access (like wwwoffle)?Resumable data transfers, such as wget? Torrenting? FidoNet? It's still in everyday use.
