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.)

    All of this is doable by the average slashdotter, except of course for the sattelite link, which is probably expensive. Still, very, very cool.
