Think about all the money educational institutes, medical centres and so forth are saving by moving towards open source. They are able to invest these funds in various other departments such as research, human resources and so forth.
We had an incident where a customer called our support staff asking us to block pr0n for them, and blamed us for not doing so earlier. Apparently her son got a glimpse of some nasty popups while he was browsing.
We had to go through a tough time explaining to her that it is the customers responsibilty to install parental control software to prevent such unwanted trouble. It shock us to hear from her that, 'even cable TV operators block ugly shows!'. Imagine!
The phone is a modified XDA. The latest model from them is O2. They are powered by Microsoft Pocket PC and supports Wifi cards. Xda was first released on July 13th, 2002.

Why wouldnt google come up with its own 'passport' service?
We have a NLOS setup running with
Navini Networks. However technically advanced or challenging the implementation is, customers are not willing to accept interruptions to their feed. In a nlos implementation as such, the service totally depends on the multipath signals, and we have found out to be most annoying to the customers are, the varying 'strong' spots. Technically, these are caused by changes to the surroundings (reflection path), weather and the antenna power. These can be acceptable to someone with fair knowledge of radio networks, but for the average Joe, having to move his CPE, or even changing its orientation for that matter, becomes a headache. How well can a nlos setup be done in a tightly packed urban area?
