From Eyebeam's "PRISM Breakup" talk Oct. 6, 2013. "Signal Strength and the Community Phone Booth" from Amelia Marzec. "What happens when you need to share a vital message with a chosen few? The Signal Strength Project is an alternative network for cell phones that allows people to connect despite political unrest and disaster relief. It consists of hardware that hacks used mobile phones in order to entirely circumvent cell phone providers and enable offline, peer to peer communication. It explores the role of technology in shaping resistance by bypassing our current infrastructure to create a new, private network for a close-knit community."
