Free Information access:
Removing the digital divide ● Societal
aspects
● Example:
everyone has access to information ➡ on all WLAN (&mobile) networks ➡
● Technical
requirements
browser with just text & picture ➡ compressed content to be transmitted over radio ➡ proxy-based splitting of information ➡
● Goal ➡ Global standard for Proxy/Browser ➡ Global standard for InfoInternet
Opera Mini
➡ encrypted
request from Opera Mini browser ➡ Opera access Web page, removes animations, and compresses the page ➡ Compressed page is sent to device ➡ typical 80% reduction
● Usage
results
4 MByte average user ➡ 20 MByte max user/month ➡
[Opera Software, Nigeria, 2011]
