    It's insanely impressive what the SNET people have managed to do with very little resources, incredibly sparse, expensive, and slow internet access and no official support from the government there. It's well worth a watch if you're interested in this sort of decentralized internet/intranet topic.

    edit: fixed broken link, sorry about that :(
