News Clips About Nobell
Communications, Inc. circa 1998
In the days
of dial-up Internet access and $1,000/month T1's, Nobell's premise was
to provide affordable broadband Internet wirelessly to everyone along
with a variety of connected devices (presaging the "Internet of
Things," see poster)
using a decentralized encrypted
peer-to-peer routing network of geographically distributed autonomous
ground-based satellites called Terralites. Even though it had
numerous
customers throughout Austin, Texas and thousands on a waiting list, it
succumbed to internal and external politics. Records and patents
applications were
destroyed and very little information survives.
