Thomas Crampton points out on Joi Ito’s blog that Macedonia has selected Strix Systems to implement a nationwide wireless network as part of the Internet. This may be the first entire country completely wireless. Crampton suggests artistic uses of the network, which will be very interesting to see. Emergency services, personal uses, and plain old business uses also seem likely. One wonders what new will come out of Macedonia. The most networked country in the world back in the early 1990s was Finland, and from there Linux appeared.
