Telabria has won a technology honour at Kent's annual Business Awards, which praised their use of pubs in a RuralMesh broadband wireless project:
The judges commended the company for an initiative that brings wireless broadband technology to rural communities via village pubs. In December 2003, Telabria fitted the pubs - The Chequers in Doddington, the New Flying Horse in Wye and the Plough & Harrow in Bridge - with a two-way satellite Internet connection and a chimney-mounted antenna.
Local residents and businesses were then able to hook up to the wireless network using a node that communicates directly with the hub, or in this case, the pub. The service costs £30 a month for unlimited broadband Net access.More @
