- washadjeffmad 10y agoHer work is regional, specifically around lower socioeconomic areas (houses with mud floors and walls, long walks to get daily water), but she HQs out of a fairly large city not far from their capital. So to answer another way, wherever the internet is good or bad, so is the dust. That's why these systems had to be field-capable. e: I should clarify that I meant wired internet. The smartphones are for providing cellular internet, which she gets more places than not. Wired internet is less generally available to her far outside of the cities. She's not particularly interested in technology, so she doesn't use smartphones as USB modems for her portable network for their Chromebooks, opting to transfer documents to the phones to upload or email. If I understood right, she waits until they're back to transfer any other contents to their office computers.
