چکیده
We believe that wireless infrastructure can have an unprecedented positive impact on the economic and social development of the rural areas of developing regions. We look at four aspects of rural connectivity that are poorly understood and that should affect both proposed solutions and policy: the limitations of cellular, the need to focus on non-mobile endpoints, the use of unlicensed spectrum, and wireless links as an alternative for fiber. Finally, we review some of the leading technologies for rural connectivity.
