Today’s smartphones provide a level of social connection far beyond what we imagined just a few years ago. But when you go beyond the reach of the grid, your smartphone needs the help of SPOT Connect to keep you in touch with friends, family, and emergency personnel. Simply pair your smartphone with SPOT Connect, and get connected to a global satellite network that lets you send messages and GPS coordinates from virtually anywhere on the planet. Update Twitter and Facebook. Send email and text messages. Request non-emergency help from professional service providers. And in the case of a critical emergency, send an SOS message requesting emergency assistance.

WARNING NOTICE: This $169 device does NOT include the subscription fees associated with SATCOM.  There are some “relatively” low cost options, and a small crowd-sourcing effort to buy a satellite that will provide free SATCOM access to Africa, but the pieces are not there yet.  See Autonomous Internet for a larger discussion of the possibilities.

Tip of the Hat to Aaron Huslage for this pointer.

Phi Beta Iota: Along with OpenBTS, SolarOne, VECTOR, and “Buy This Satellite,” Freedom Box joins the vanguard of the global revolution.  “Connected, We Are One.”  [Connexum Sumus Unum–scholarly check welcomed].  Please give as generously as you can, this is the non-violent equivalent of Bunker Hill in the global war against corruption and the many attrocities associated with repression of diversity and dissent.

Freedom Box Reflections

Autonomous Internet

Autonomous Internet [or Autonomous Free Distributed Internet for the elderly] is the new meme in town, inspired by the role of Facebook and Twitter as well as the rapidly developed Internet Work-Arounds that were developed by a huge network of great-hearted citizens.

Freedom Box is an idea, not a capability, but it holds enormous potential, particularly if combined with OpenBTS and SolarOne and other bits and pieces that folks are starting to visualize.  Below are some reflections that could help Freedom Box chart a path toward ubiquitous persistence around the globe.

Tahrir Project: Decentralized Anonymous Twitter

Autonomous Internet

The Tahrir Project

Tahrir will be decentralized anonymous Twitter, from the crazy fool that brought you Freenet. It is early days but I'm making rapid progress.

Tahrir aims to be a distributed, decentralized, scalable, and anonymous “workalike” for Twitter.

Autonomous Internet Google Group Comment: Not sure what it solves what http://code.google.com/p/torchat/ doesn't do live.  Also, I wonder why they picked MIX and not PIR, as Twatr isn't too latency-sensitive, so you can pick systems more resistant to timing analysis.

Riposte: I imagine it's got a good name is a good reason for the trend. As we've seen in this group, the tech isn't always what brings people it's the political implications of what they are doing. The best tech may not win.
