I think it is wrong to say that there is a big lack of internet accessibility in Australia. Compare that map with the population density: http://www.environment.gov.au/soe/2001/publications/theme-re...


Yes it's totally wrong. Something like 98% of Australians live in the cities where you have multiple suppliers of ADSL 2+ (28Mb), cable internet, HSDPA (3G wireless internet) and so on.


Hope they will sell these at a low price


Voila - hand-cranked CB radio.


Can we use it in Europe too?


The inventor studied in The Netherlands, the concept should work everywhere! I wonder if they are legal in Europe though...


Can we buy a few and test them? Would be good content and good publicity...


Afrika?
