CommonDreams has a (long) article about how text-messaging aided organizing during the RNC: http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0909-13.htm
In short: 1. nyc.indymedia.org -- organized a mobile information line lots of people called into. 2. Aspiration Tech of San Francisco -- did a prototype using Asterisk (software pkg) to take information from the web and converts it to speech to provide it to mobile phones 3. www.txtmob.com - hosted a free text messaging service activists could use. The examples they give are sort of small-scale (60 people called up via text messaging), but then again, practically no one knew about the service. If all these people meet at a Park, and the park is 802.11b, what can you do from there?
