Daknet

DakNet, an ad hoc network uses wireless technology which provides digital connectivity. DakNet was developed by Media Lab researchers. The word DakNet is derived from the Hindi word “Dak” for postal that combines a physical means of transportation with wireless data transfer to extend the internet connectivity that a uplink, a cyber cafe or post office provides. It has been well setup in remote parts of both India and Cambodia at a cost two orders of magnitude less than that of traditional landline solutions. Villagers now get low-cost Internet services-and they’re using them.
