Re: [BAWUG] Building a wireless network in Iraq

[Ryan Marsh]

LOL, yah, I've got a cell phone here, and the service is great. It's 
crazy how technology still finds its way into the nooks and crannies of 
the most screwed up places on earth.  Are there any wireless ISP's in 
Baghdad you know of? We're still searching for a Satellite provider 
too, seems they are all afraid of making money. They move like molasses 
in January (to quote my Mother).

Apologies for leading the topic astray, but you also might want to

He's been living in Baghdad outside the Green Zone for a year now. And 
this has got to be one of my favorite all time install photos:

It's a shapshot taken of his employees as they install a wireless ISP 
in Mosul. The SEG on his face as they cling atop a tower (no OSHA 
climbing regs!) with the rural town and mosque in the background is 
great!
