"We built the first community cellular network in a rural village in Papua, Indonesia, in early 2013, with support from USAID and the Blum Center for Developing Economies. That first network is still running today, and today we continue to add new networks, constantly bringing connectivity to new users and communities worldwide."
Haven't met the rest of the team, but the CTO, Shaddi, is an awesome guy.
- wittedhaddock 12y agoIs this at all related to the Thiel Fellowship? So familiar!
- cinjon 12y agoI don't know that there is a connection. What are you thinking of?
- contingencies 12y agoYou seem proud. Slap yourself on the back from me, too. Such great work! And lay one on for Shaddi. What a dude. Not. This is ... centralized, US-led, heavily geopolitically partisan communications networks sold with vague economic development overtones. Any realistic evaluation would find it hard to conclude other than that such networks will chiefly be used to justify further US and Australian meddling (eg. extreme communications interception... such as the Indonesian president earlier this year) in this region. Instead, we should lobby for FirefoxOS to drop cellular as de-facto and embrace alternate link-layers, ad-hoc and mesh! https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=945047 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=945047
