    And they will have also some cameras broadcasting live from savana.

    Not so slow really. It's the modulator/demodulator that makes most radio slow. WiFi over other radio spectrum will be just as good as regular WiFi. Radio is the same no matter which frequencies are used. We just split it all up to keep crosstalk between devices down. Look into whitespace.

    Philip Abernethy the available spectrum on "old radio" and TV frequencies (barely used in Africa) is huge - several hundreds of Megaherz. Just visualise current GSM running on 12 Mhz (or less)... There is plenty of available spectrum that was "booked" in old analog times.
    Low frequencies means higher range, which perfectly suits those territories.
    It looks like an appropriate solution.

    I figured google would be building a seafleet and floating international data centers. But I guess they decided to go with an airship fleet first.

It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks, Originally shared by Stanley Dudek Aerial view of the symbol... Anomaly... Whatever this is, which showed up overnight just outside the Robert E. Howard museum in Cross Plains, TX. Onsite, Hank Johnson and I discussed the meanings and potential causes of its sudden appearance, or perhaps its relevance to the ancient civilizations.

We told you there would be a test....For (4) invites tell me where this is found...This will not Google !

We told you there would be a test....For (4) invites tell me where this is found...This will not Google ! Yuen:  Shut down the servers supporting the app  Coordinate with Ken and get the app off the store. Take every site that mentions it down. FIX THIS. Zeke:  We could request that it be taken out of the store and shut down the servers. but that could generate controversy and attention. and this operation would largely come to a standstill. Yuen:  so what do you recommend we do? Zeke:  For now. Nothing. Yuen:  that doenst seem like a course of action. Zeke:  It is difficult to set a course in uncharted waters. Yuen:  are you mocking me??? Zeke:  no. I'm exercising caution.  We must make our next move very, very carefully. #nianticproject   #ingress
