Brian, Marten here has the perfect solution for you. I need to take his idea and see if it is easy to implement. I would like to start a darknet in Uganda. An opensource network with a central server(s), free bandwidth and minimum cost of joying. That way where ever on is in the country, they can participate and benefit from open source. With a setup like Marten suggests/uses, the only cost of joining for read-only privileges would be having the hardware, The skill and access to the network. It really saddens me that Uganda has no real countrywide infrastructure. Truth be told a foreign govt could shut us down Quite easily (I know of the IXPs). DO we develop app and software for sharing within Uganda and relevant to Uganda? Think about it.
