Abstract
- The article discusses the work done by University of California, Berkeley professor Eric Brewer in establishing a global communication network. The product he and his graduate students have come up with is called Wildnet, an inexpensive wireless Wi-Fi based technology that can transmit up to 60 miles. Some have been placed in Ghana and the Philippines to allow more rural internet access. The technology has been used in southern India to allow rural people better, cheaper eye care.
