Three Options for an Internet Connection at Home

Option One

A few months ago i mentioned that i have a dual boot system that runs Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It is therefore a pretty big issue in my life if i find a system that can function of both sides and deliver the result that i am looking for.

Sometimes you might find that your Internet USB GPRS works well in windows but is unrecognized in Linux. There is software for this but my point is, when i find hardware that works on both sides this is normally a plus point.

The first option you see above is offered by one of the recent entries into the Ugandan Market. The monthly fees are quite enticing and the offer comes with the hardware needed to run the system. Judging from some of the inquiries that i made, there is a limit to how far (distance) the system can go.

What it basically is a Chinese made Wimax Indoor Router which picks up the signal from one of the their masts and then sends this directly to your PC if you choose or to a another Chinese made Wireless ADSL Router which is responsible for distributing the signal to 4 or hosts. The latter is also built to take in a signal through your phone line.

In terms of cost therefore, the system is quite impressive. Handle the hardware carefully though, because the moment you chose to terminate the contract, you loose access to the hardware.

Education 2.0

Education 2.0 ? A few interesting but seemingly unrelated events are taking place as we speak. The internet is changing the way we think about education and the manner in which we communicate (socialize). At the centre of this dramatic change, groups like google realized a quite a while back that someone had to put all this new information in order for others to utilize. And so they invaded search and in some sense are attempting to monopolize it.  Universities and educational institutions chose not to be left behind and began initiatives in which they explored extensively the area of online education. As they sensed the push toward open source models they went on to create platforms in their institutions where information could be shared and some lectures provided at no cost. While core aspects of their learning materials were retained, students and learning enthusiasts were free to engage in intensive learning experiences with top level schools in the U.S and in the U.K wh...
