Ninjatel, the hacker cellphone network (2012)

  I never realized this went as far as distributing phones (with custom firmware to boot!) - way cool. That must have taken forever to set up. The followup article on the wirelessly-accessed cola machine is also cool: http://robotskirts.com/2012/08/03/ninja-cola-a-wirelessly-accessible-vending-machine/ http://robotskirts.com/2012/08/03/ninja-cola-a-wirelessly-ac...

    I still use my Ninja phone as a travel phone. The Verge did a good video about it, you can see pretty much all of the gear there in the van. The crew that did all of that is very, very good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r83PKVXJ_K0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r83PKVXJ_K0

  I was at Defcon that year, the Ninjas did a real cool job. I got to play around with one of the phones a little, the UI and the interface was really nice - i'd love to see this as an actual UI. Plus, the party was spectacular, as far as I remember... Cudos to everyone who made that happen.

  Ninja Networks did an awesome job that year (especially the booze delivery service!). I believe they concluded that it would be impossible to top, so they took a break from doing parties (hopefully not permanently!). I installed CyanogenMod on my NinjaTel after DEF CON and used it as my main phone for over a year.
