Three-wheeled Wireless Internet

Posted by timothy on from the three-rounde-tyres dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I just found this article which describes how a group of people in the UK built a 3 wheeled trike-type rickshaw to give visitors to a festival mobile Internet access. An interesting read for those /.ers into wireless networks, it also gives good information about the use of satellite for net connectivity and renewable energy sources. They do a good job of lightening a dry subject with a dash of humour." (The festival here is The Big Green Gathering, which sounds like a low-key, English version of Burning Man.)

    A bunch of smelly, unwashed, unkempt, ignorant Luddites convulsing all day and night to techno-handbag-disco-music while completely bombed out of their skulls on extacy, speed, LSD, mushrooms, heroin, cocaine etc., with an Internet connection? Have you looked at the hocus-pocus chalatanry they are peddling? I bet there's not a scientist or engineer amongst them. I garantee the best "education" any of them's had is a Liberal Arts degree. Bloody commies.
