Peer-to-peer mobile trial in Africa
“People in the developing world could benefit from low-cost telephony if a Swedish firm succeeds in its launch of peer-to-peer (P2P) mobile phone technology.
TerraNet, a startup from the university town of Lund, has developed the technology that allows people to communicate over a distance of 20km without mobile phone base stations.”
reminds me of some work we were doing in ghana with the geekcorps back in 2001. tkrag, a dane, was into this type of stuff, i believe: http://multiplicity.dk/
