People are loving the connectedness. But after a big disaster, how to get on the internet?
I propose ham radio could be used for this. The hams are ferociously independent and locally sustain their own transmission abilities. Ham radio transmission can go on with a local generator. If wireless
transmission could re rejiggered to use ham frequencies this would be very useful after a disaster.
It might help to have a more parsimonious use of data than current web browsers like: perhaps a bare bones disaster browser?

Look up packet modems. This has been baked since long before the internet. |

Isn't this the same as packet radio, and isn't it what Alohanet used? |

Packet radio occurred to me also, but, for reasons I can't quite explain, I got the feeling that's not what the idea is about. |
