Richard St Clare runs the Internet access on Nuie in the pacific, where they have close to 100% broadband penetration using WiFi which is provided free to the population. The network was built after a cyclone destroyed all the previous wired infrastucture. They talk alot about how the network was quick to build and how they could rebuild the entire network in 6 days if another cyclone wiped it out. They also talk about the concept of having a network in a shipping container that can be flown to a disaster area quickly. Very interesting. -- Matt Brown CRCnet Administrator WAND Network Research Group / Waikato University / New Zealand [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mob +64 275 611 544 www.crc.net.nz _______________________________________________ wireless mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://list.scms.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wireless ----- End forwarded message -----
