Heh?
Here in Indonesia, a group of IT volunteers has succesfully set up a wireless LAN to provide Internet Access although at first they had to deal with unsupportive government officials and lack of hardware support (eventually they flew to Aceh using Australian's Hercules plane). They also build a website to serve updated news and list of victims here : www acehmediacenter or id. They started in Dec 31, and right now there are about three WLAN nodes up and running in Aceh. Thank to these guys, many people can find way to search on their relatives, to know current situation in Aceh regarding relief efforts. Volunteers and Journalists can also use this to send important info on Aceh.
