Macedonia Deploys World’s First Country-Wide Broadband Wireless Mesh Network
The Republic of Macedonia has decided to deploy an Outdoor Wireless System (OWS) to create a country-wide wireless mesh network. The 1,000+ square-mile deployment, which is funded and deployed by Macedonian service provider On.Net, will be the single largest broadband wireless network in the world, providing high speed data, voice, and video capabilities to the entire population of over two million people. On.Net has already deployed a high-performance, multi-radio wireless mesh throughout Macedonia’s capital city of Skopje, which provides wireless broadband capabilities to the nearly one million inhabitants.
If you have friends with iPhones that can regularly use them throughout the day without issue then they aren’t really making full use of their features. I love my iPhone to bits, but I have two chargers at home, a charger at work, a charger in the car, and I’d cite a major advantage of the iPad being that if I go to a festival I can do the internet and games stuff on the iPad with its fantastic battery life so that my iPhone has a sporting chance of keeping charge in a field for three days with WiFi and 3G turned off.
