“Wireless communication expert Mike Outmesguine has demonstrated an easy way to produce a “Network Relief Kit” – an ultra-portable method of connecting to the internet from almost any location in the world. The entire kit can be carried in a back-pack, and offers a fast enough connection to watch videos on YouTube. Not without a price, however – data transfer typically costs between $3-$6 (£2-£4) per megabyte, payable to providers of satellite internet connections such as Inmarsat.”
