8:00pm Himalayan wireless from the Tibetan Technology Center

Hacking the Himalayas is a series on NPR from tech journalist Xeni Jardin.
She explores how Tibetan exiles are reconnecting with their past and
embracing the future partly from a growing wireless mesh network.
Technicians have to monkey-proof the system. Literally from monkeys swinging
on antennas! Meanwhile, buddhist monks are emailing each other from their
temples and others are reaching out internationally with websites telling
their story.
