As a resident of rural Australia I am priveledged to be able
to represent the Open Source "Sahana"
Humanitaran Aid application (www.sahana.lk/) at the upcoming
"Disasters ~ Prevention and Mitigation"
conference to be held at Harvard University, Massachusetts
(www.hsph.harvard.edu/disasters/). One outcome of digital
inclusion is that participation in and representation of
global projects crossing international boundaries is
possible - I find it truly remarkable.
Enabling global roaming for the trip I was also surprised to
learn from my Telco (a week before travelling,) that CDMA
wireless broadband notebook adaptors do not work in the USA.
Apparently I will be limited to short-range WiFi hostpots or
slow GSM for mobile connectivity. Are there other mobile
broadband options in the USA I should investigate?
If any other list members are attending the above conference
it would be fantastic to catch-up.
Regards,
Don Cameron
