They are doing it all over the world and getting better at it every day. If there is no electricity all fancy plans will go nowhere. In the end we will need "The Postman." [/quote]

"What we need is a plan B... there is no plan B right now, there's no clear backup system that we very carefully kept to be independent of the internet . . . what we need is something that doesn't necessarily have the performance of the internet . . . this doesn't need to be a multi-billion dollar government project. It's actually relatively simple to do technically because it can use existing fibers that are in the ground, existing wireless infrastructure.
It's basically a matter of deciding to do it.

THANK YOU, Danny Hillis and TEDTalks FOR PUTTING THIS OUT THERE... THE TRUTH. WE NEED A NEW COMMUNICATIVE MEDIUM.
