KioskNet

{{Short description|System for providing internet access}}

KioskNet is a system, developed at the University of Waterloo, to provide very low cost Internet access to rural villages in developing countries, based on the concept of delay-tolerant networking. It uses vehicles, such as buses, to ferry data between village kiosks and Internet gateways in nearby urban centers. The data is re-assembled at a Proxy Server for interaction with legacy servers.[http://kiosknet.org/ The KioskNet project web page ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010111113900/http://kiosknet.org/ |date=January 11, 2001 }} The system is free and open source.
