"In most places, networking is more expensive--not only in relative terms but even in absolute terms--than it is in United States," Vivek Pai tells David Talbot of Technology Review. HashCache, a new method for storing Web content that could make Internet access more affordable and accessible worldwide, is currently being field-tested at the Kokrobitey Institute in Ghana and Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria.
