What you’re seeing above is VillageTelco’s Mesh
Potato<http://www.villagetelco.org/about/mesh-potato/>,
> the prototype for a lightweight, low-cost, and low-power unit that is a
> building block for rolling your very own decentralized P2P phone network.

We’re thrilled to announce that this month’s Awesome Fellowship from Boston
> goes to Paul Gardner-Stephen <http://hld.c64.org/>, post-doctoral fellow
> at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia. Paul’s perhaps most known
> worldwide for his creation of the much-touted innovation of the shoe phone<http://realshoephone.com/>,
> and for this project, he’s turning his formidable skills to a new project.

Specifically, the plan is to get the mesh potato to work with mobile
> telephones so that so that mobile telecoms can be deployed rapidly, cheaply
> and robustly into disasters, developing and remote areas, and plain old
> remote places where the huge cost of mobile telephone towers makes it too
> expensive to provide coverage. A neat hack that Paul’s building into the
> plan is that these P2P phone networks will work with your regular old phone
> number, without requiring access to the internet (seriously).

The entire thing will be prototyped over Android, and step-by-step
> instructions will be made available so you can start up a mobile telcom
> right in the comfort of your own home (some assembly required).

If you’re around Boston, we’ll also be holding a demonstration of the
> technology in late July, with a special presentation from Paul. So, stay
> tuned!
