SolarNetOne: Solar-powered networking for anyone
Linux and open technologies deliver the Internet anywhere
Summary: In many parts of the world, the power grid is shoddy, computers are scarce, and connectivity is even rarer. Thus, as with many other modern practices and technologies, populations are increasingly bifurcated into the “computing haves” and the “computing have-nots.” But many are addressing the divide. SolarNetOne is a turnkey Internet hotspot—power, computers, and satellite uplink—you can install virtually anywhere, for less than the cost of a subcompact car.
Phi Beta Iota: This is not to be confused with OpenBTS and $2 a month cellular service, but it does appear to be promising. Read more at the IBM developerWorks page for SolarNetOne.
Greetings! I hope this finds you well. There is a new reality upon us. We all sense it and we each experience it in our own unique way. We are more connected than ever and are discovering new ways to combine our power that are literally changing the world. Witness the youth-led, networked revolution started in the Middle East demonstrating the power of collective action.
We don't have to all agree on everything to advance our vision for a just and sustainable world. We can make this happen by participating in networks that promote the social good.
“Individually we’re a drop; together we’re an ocean.”
What we need are supportive, transparent networks that offer mutually reinforcing activities such as educating, informing, communicating, transacting, and sharing.
I recommend two such networks:
Ideal Network: Saving is Good; but Saving While Giving is Ideal!
The Ideal Network combines group buying with giving back to local causes. This social enterprise makes daily deals meaningful and grew out of our work on the Interra Project
For each sale, 25% of the purchase price goes to support local community projects. Yes 25%!
We launched four weeks ago in Seattle and have already generated more than $4,000 dollars in support of 16 great causes:
