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
