Loband
A Slashdot reader mulls over a new leaner browsing experience that loband promises to provide and questions if this could be the much "needed stepping stone for users in developing countries"
Created by Aidworld, a Cambridge (UK) based organisation specialising in ICTs for the developing world, the free internet service speeds up web browsing in low bandwidth environments
Loband uses server-side compression and filters images, scripts and plugins while retaining content and basic formatting, and reduces bandwidth requirements by between 5 and 50 times.
Alan Jackson from the Loband project adds "[Aidworld is] looking at Loband allowing variable support for images based on user preferences or available bandwidth."
Aidworld can be contacted at info AT aidworld DOT org
