Wireless Networks to Native Reservations

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday September 21, 2001 @05:30AM from the saving-some-wampum dept.

akb writes: "Interesting article entitled Native Networking Trends: Wireless Broadband Networks describing a project which provided three Indian reservations near San Diego with wireless broadband connectivity. The collaboration between UC San Diego and the Southern California Tribal Chairman Association has attracted additional funding from HP's Digital Village Program doubling the original NSF allocation, which will allow the network to expand to connect 18 reservations to the Internet and educational facilities. The network sports a 45mbps wireless backbone with 802.11b uplinks." The HPWREN pages have a lot of interesting information, including specifications for their 45 megabit solar-powered relays.

Popp writes in: Hi there I just wanted to give some information about something I read on your site. On the page about Mark Wallice, someone emailed to state that they thought that Mark Wallice had appeared in the gay adult film Route 69. I wanted to let you know that I watched that film quite recently and I am quite sure that Mark Wallice did not appear in that film. It seems true that the only gay adult film he ever appeared in was A Matter Of Size.

No, you are a raging homosexual and a nigger, but definitely not a troll.
