i could be a yak

May 25th, 2004

today the register told me about yak farmers in nepal with wifi.

i find this particularly exciting, not just from a geek perspective (ie rigging hardcore wifi in the middle of the himalayas), but also from a social development perspective. such minimal physical infrastructure could potentially bring so much communication.

they might not have telephones, but they have wifi. nepal wireless has all the info.
