This is an interesting story about WiFi-equipped buses being used to deliver Internet content to rural villages in India and elsewhere. Apparently, they cache a bunch of pages that they know are of interest and then drive out to the villages for the local computers to slurp up the content.
Having lived in a remote African village (with no regular electricity much less Internet, although I did manage to charge my laptop off a generator a couple hours some nights), I can really see the appeal of this.
I imagine that the next step (if it isn’t already happening somewhere) is a bus with a satellite dish on top of it. Brings new meaning to mobile connectivity.
