There's a new book out that looks sympathetic even to a non-techie like
me: Wireless Networking in the Developing
World
The massive popularity of wireless networking has caused equipment costs
to continually plummet, while equipment capabilities continue to
increase. By applying this technology in areas that are badly in need of
critical communications infrastructure, more people can be brought
online than ever before, in less time, for very little cost. We hope to
not only convince you that this is possible, but also show how we have
made such networks work, and to give you the information and tools you
need to start a network project in your local community.
The whole thing is available under a Creative Commons - Share Alike
License. So go ahead, test it and improve it.
It somewhat reminds me of Cory Doctorow's Someone Comes To Town, Someone
leaves Town", which partly talks about setting up a free wireless
network in Toronto.
