From Eyebeam's "PRISM Breakup" talks Oct. 6, 2013. "Small wifi networks loosely joined" by Dan Phiffer. "Occupy.here is an invisible virtual space for anonymous speech, built on Internet technologies but intended to run independently of the Internet itself. The project seeks to create and maintain a network of affiliated wifi routers, each hosting local services that don’t require an Internet connection. Each wifi network—identified with the SSID “occupy.here”—allows those within physical proximity of the signal to connect to custom-built social software. Once connected, any URL you type into your web browser redirects you to occupy.here/, a website offering a mobile-friendly message board and a growing library of e-books and articles. It’s a tiny wifi-powered darknet, connecting you with your neighbors and possibly past and future neighbors."
