The objective is "Internet for All Indonesians" In tactical terms, 1. liberating 2.4GHz (we used to pay US$2300/year/hotspot in 2000) as a result 2.4GHz & 5.8GHz are free now. 2004, Onno W.

http://nulisbuku.com/books/view_book/8935/buku-pegangan-internet-untuk-desa
The book is currently being used by Indonesian Ministry of Villages
to connect the Indonesian villages to the Internet
From Ministry of Communication & Information point of view
It is illegal :( ...
You may notice,
1. I used mainly books to introduce & spread
the technology to the Indonesians
2. many of the technologies are still illegal until now :) ...
>> Could you explain what were your motivations? Why did you do it? What > were you expecting to achieve with your work?
motivations: - as a technology guy, I know how make it. It is sad to see the Indonesian have to wait for the operator & pay dearly for the service to access the Internet - if the Indonesian can build some of the technology themselves it may significantly reduce the required costs .. and allowing the all Indonesians to access the net
>> Did you work alone or with other people? Were you in > contact/exchanging with other inventors/tech pioneers around your > context or at the international level?

In terms of the invention Yes, I am in contact with others both locally in Indonesia as well as abroad. For example, for OpenBTS I am in close collaboration with Kurtis Heimerl & friends at Range Networks in US Locally in Indonesia, we are sharing knowledge especially via twitter heheheh ... you might want to check my twitter @onnowpurbo it is an Q&A sessions :) ... BTW, my followers in twitter is 340.000++ mostly geek & male :( ..
>> Who inspired you? You can quote other inventors, theorists, people, > collective, networks, organisations etc
hehehe It is mainly my father Hasan Poerbo :) .. He was an environmentalist He was very much pro people (poor people & village people) He helped building poor villages in Indonesia I watched my father over a period of several decades since I was in high school so without realizing I embed his idealism in the way I move in today's society. Basically I follow his steps but in different technology area ...
>> Anything else you want to add?
ITU measured only ~20% Indonesian on the Internet (today) If the government keep on using the current policy at the most 50% Indonesian on the Internet as the other half of Indonesians are in villages they have no money to pay the operators thus, one have to use different approach to allow Indonesian villagers access to the Internet at low cost
>> Anything else you wand us to read for better understanding your work?
I hope I have put alot of reading materials :) ...
