Wireless in the Himalayas
There are some interesting pictures about the wireless setup as well as of the country it is being installed in. However the picture that the above link points to is of a sign that has me wondering. Hand lettered and advertises a Cyber Cafe – that has an ATTACHED TOILED and is 100 mts. AHead. I am assuming that the toiled is a toilet but what is the mts.? Is that Meters? or Mountains? or neither?
