OT: satellite data

[Brian Willoughby]

Hi Chuck,

Each year at Burning Man, there are people who set up internet access.  Not  
sure what their bandwidth is, but they apparently also provide wireless AP  
access.  I didn't turn on my laptop when I was there, so this is second-hand  
information.  For all I know, it may have been a LAN only.  So, find these guys  
and see if their bandwidth is sufficient, and if they're willing to set up a  
special time for your uplink.  If you have a budget to increase their bandwidth  
over what they're already setting up, maybe they would find the arrangement  
mutually beneficial.  www.burningman.com might be a good place to start, or  
perhaps any of the various local BM camps knows who does the internet there.   
I'll ask around this weekend and report if I find any leads.

I want to get about 500kb/s uplink BW from the middle of the
desert in Nevada, temporary installation. What are my options?

If anyone cares, it's for a good social purpose -- related to
closure on the Capitol Hill killings last March. We're doing
a live digital video feed from a fire in the desert Sept. 3.
