Solar Wi-Fi To Bring Net to Developing Countries
I think this is a very cool idea and one I am very glad to see happening. I really think efforts like this can be worldchanging, and do a lot to help people, especially children, in the developing world to have more opportunities. The project is Green WiFi and is founded by Bruce Baikie, former manager of strategic marketing and solutions for the telecommunications industry at Sun Microsystems, and Marc Pomerleau, currently a member of Sun Microsystem’s identity management marketing team. According to their site:
“GREEN-WiFi strives to apply smart, sustainable, communications technologies to help bridge the digital divide for children in the developing world. A solar-powered Wi-Fi grid network solution can be part of the answer.”
