A group of locals and volunteers are using wireless to link together a handful of villages in Nepal and link them to the Internet: It seems that many initiatives to bring the Internet to rural Nepal are focused on trying to use the Internet to improve the lives of people and also to preserve culture. That was the goal in a project I’ve written about where some Sherpas used wireless to bring the Internet to base camp. Their plan was really to be able to re-use the gear in the village below to bring better educational opportunities and jobs to the people. This group, Nepal Wireless, has already connected five villages where people use the connections for email and to access educational information that has been posted on their intranet.
