a team is building a wireless network to connect the mt. everest's base camp to the internet. the exciting side effect is that in the process they'll bring the internet to the neighboring village. the telco situation in nepal is a joke, phone lines are so expensive that you'd have internet cafes with 5 or 10 computers on one 28.8 modem. hopefully this kind of technology will provide an alternative.
