However in many developing countries, mobile phones are simply too expensive to use. For example, in a country where people earn $1.50/day, a phone call can cost 21 cents/minute. This is a huge tax on communications. \n\nDavid Rowe, VK5DGR, will describe how a community of people from around the world set out to fix this problem, using a mix of Wi-Fi and open source software. The result is the Village Telco - a DIY telephone company that anyone can set up. \n\nA Village Telco is constructed from a network of \"Mesh Potatoes\" - small Wi-Fi boxes that are\n mounted on homes in a village. They form a mesh network, relaying telephone calls for each other. Each Mesh Potato connects to a regular telephone inside village homes. Phone calls on the network are free. A local person in the Village can be trained in a few hours to set up and maintain the network. \n\nTo build the Village Telco we borrowed many ideas from Ham Radio, such as sharing hardware designs and community networks. \n\nThe talk will include real world stories of how Village Telcos are helping people in several developing countries, and explain why a simple phone call that we take for granted can be so important. \n\n- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - \n\nSunday Seminar:\n\nStay tuned.
