RE: Mobile Wifi Backpack (fwd from brian-slashdotnews@hyperreal.org)
Well, we actually discussed a similar configuration in the context of mass demonstration. Such a configuration could prevent a Goonsquad shakedown of data/photos/videos, particularly when the WiFi device is acting like a router, and particularly when this router is one of many in a sea of routers, all forwarding the info-stuff. To my knowledge, Variola cleverly dubbed it eJazeera. -TD

from the share-the-love dept. [1]ruzel writes "Julian Bleecker's web site [2]TechKwonDo describes [3]a project that is a wifi base station in a backpack. 'WiFi.Bedouin is a wearable, mobile 802.11b node disconnected from the global Internet. It forms a WiFi "island Internet" challenging conventional assumptions about WiFi and suggesting new architectures for digital networks that are based on physical proximity rather than solely connectivity.' The motivation is essentially subversive but what other uses are there for a device like this?"
