“Building on our experience with the Poor Man’s Broadband system, we are currently developing systems for users in the developing-world to share their unused bandwidth to accelerate download for other users. Just as systems such as SETI@Home and OceanStore permit users to share their computing cycles and storage space with others on the Internet, DonateBandwidth.net permits sharing of unused Internet bandwidth.”
