Life here on the Last Mile
Treehugger is reporting on a new Solar Wi-Fi project that will be piloted this year in India…
Their wi-fi access nodes, which consist of a small solar panel, a heavy-duty battery, and a router, can be linked together to extend one internet connection into a larger network.
This just screams Vermont. The vast majority of the homes in the towns I teach in are still on dial up, and will be for the forseeable future. This would be such a hit.
