Community Wan - as a No Frills Carrier - practical solution for high speed internet and perhaps development.
Dear all,
I have recently moved back to Delhi, and was a little disappointed with the penetration of broadband. I find that bandwidth is both expensive and unreliable for this age. I guess we all realize that if a society is to progress, it has to get on the information highway. This is no different from roads. Wherever there was a road progress followed.
So, instead of sitting back and waiting for things to happen, I wanted to get proactive and do something about it. My search for a solution lead me to the irishwan project at http://www.irishwan.com/. I quote from their website below.
IrishWAN is a technical hobby group which advises communities in remote areas on how to get themselvelves connected to broadband services. It is not an ISP, and does not offer a broadband service.
It does, however, advise people on how to do it for themselves. Think if it as a 'think tank' on how to get around the lack of availability of broadband services in remote areas around Ireland
Ireland is also a relatively less developed part in western europe, and the irishwan project thought of doing something nice to that community.
My intent in posting this here is
To understand the level of interest by the community.
To find technical minded people wanting to collaborate on getting this moving and implemented for the jat lands of nothern india! :)
I hope there is some interest.
Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
