Hi all, I recently started working the communications front for a super rad startup called Open Garden. Essentially, OG is a mobile broadband network that uses p2p mesh technology to provide internet connectivity between smartphones, laptops and tablets. Last night I hopped on a call with some folks in India who run a nonprofit to help rural farmers tackle problems like soil testing, crop planning, seed recommendation, etc; They're planning to install Open Garden on their Android tablets and phones, pooling local networks of 2G and occasionally 3G mobile data to provide internet connectivity to the tablets. It's a great team doing exciting work. Hit me up if you'd like to hear more, or check out the link below.
