blog.wired.com — A Venezuelan techie apparently has set a new record for longest WiFi link. Networking guru Ermanno Pietrosemoli established a wireless connection between a PC in El Aguila, Venezuela, and one in Platillon Mountain, a distance of about 237 miles, mostly using off-the-shelf equipment and a few hacked parts.

Amazing!But it's possible to get interesting result (I mean, on the mile range) even with cheap cookware:<a class="user" href="http://exe64.com/mirror/wokfi/">http://exe64.com/mirror/wokfi/</a> (Fast european mirror of the original <a class="user" href="http://www.usbwifi.orcon.net.nz/)">http://www.usbwifi.orcon.net.nz/)</a>

Now if only they could get this kind of range with cell phone towers, maybe I'd actually get service.
