چکیده
Recent advances in wireless computer networking have led to huge commercial success and very low pricing for broadband networks. While these networks are thought of as mainly for offices, they have been shown to be a practical means for providing broadband access to even the most remote areas at very low prices. They thus offer developing countries with an opportunity to “leap-frog” over wire line infrastructures to the forefront of communications.
