@tony the dialup is usually done internationally, you set your modem to dial an ISP in another country and then connect through them.

Now that we realize that the internet and it's imminent ubiquity does not necessarily grant the required freedoms, it's high time we realised that Erik's (of Ushahidi), "If it works in Africa, it will work anywhere" philosophy needs to be stepped up a notch. In this context, I remember a very interesting project by Tonee, of Wazimba, called blue-tooth stumbling. Any progress since?

An excerpt, here from TedX Nairobi

“Everybody uses Bluetooth for something, for passing music, pictures , information and the like” says Tonee and so they embarked on a journey to teach people how to use their mobile phones using Bluetooth without them necessarily wanting to use them. In a nutshell they developed an autonomous viral application that utilises a technique called ‘bluetooth stumbling’ where they are able to push messages virally to mobile phones and using techniques open to the public. They are able to push messages to other phones without the standard authorisation approvals from the receiving device. The interesting bit is that the application has elements of ‘viral biomimicity’ whereby it installs itself onto the host mobile phone and starts the process of pushing messages to other phones. Hence information is ported for free from one point to another and it a brings a whole new meaning to the 6 degrees of separation concept. Legal isssues aside this technology brings about an exponential increase in information bandwidth and brings about novel and efficient ways to push information to the grass roots without necessarily relying on last mile internet solutions.
