Navajo Nation Losing Internet Access

Posted by Soulskill on from the maybe-because-DPI-can't-break-their-encryption dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Due to contracts that are allegedly FUBAR, and associated wrangling, the Navajo Nation is being cut off by its satellite ISP. This is the final stage of the process, which already deprived chapter houses of access last April. While the business mechanisms play themselves into the expected ludicrous snarl, the real question may be: Is there a place for an inexpensive ham/technogeek/FOSS solution that could bypass the antics of the for-pay providers?"

    We are still waiting for that WAP wizard I wrote of long ago. Go to school. Be the WAP mesh wizard for the rest of us. I don't have time.

    Somebody doesn't want you to read the parent and has modded it down. I can afford a few comments worth of Karma burn so read it and decide for yourself.
