Maybe those Burning Man people aren’t completely worthless after all:
Now the group, known as Burners Without Borders, is using new Kyocera mobile hot-spot technology to create a wide-area-network in an area with little, if any, Internet access. Their shoestring network, based on $250 routers and $150 wireless cards, could prove to be a model for other volunteer groups in disaster areas.
The credit goes to Kyocera, and it’s a very cool little deal they’ve got.
$250 is shockingly cheap. That should throw some monkeywrenches in some biz models.
Yeah, prices that low are a threat to our freedoms.
Is this the same Burning Man that does the festival in Nevada?
Yup, same exact ones.
