Last April, I wrote about discussion at our WiFi Planet message board in which some soldiers stationed in Iraq were getting help from people here in the States using the WiFi Planet discussion board.

The discussion started when a U.S. soldier, stationed in the Iraqi desert, posted a message to ask for help in improving the WiFi reception he shared with his fellow soldiers. Well, that discussion continued for many months after. The wonderful members of that community not only offered their knowledge, they even donated and shipped equipment that helped our soldiers improve their wireless network. And just today, another soldier, stationed in Kuwait came onto the board because he about to ship out to Iraq and wants to set up a WiFi network when he gets there. The power of Internet communities is just amazing. And of course, I'm proud that a service of our company can help such deserving people.
