Hi Henrique, I really like your idea; giving Internet conectivity to the kids it's really important, it helps in reducing the digital divide. While Wimax would be better in theory, you might want to stick with current open technologies such as WiFi. 6km might be a challenge thanks to the rain forest, but it shouldn't be impossible. -- Ricardo Lanziano 6838 E880 7CA4 D4B6 8283 8F65 96AD EC0B F113 AB62 Unix is simple. It just takes a genius to understand its simplicity. _______________________________________________ Netsukuku mailing list Netsukuku@lists.dyne.org http://lists.dyne.org/mailman/listinfo/netsukuku
