At AirJaldi Summit there was a request for academic research on the 
topic of Wireless projects.

Here is a project in Canada, that has previously been mentioned on this 
list, but worth mentioning again.

Vic and David, I have contacted the PI on this Social Science and 
Humanities Council of Canada funded project and will hopefully meet with 
her soon.  I hope you can share some of the academic work you are doing 
here, Vic, if I recall you were looking at setting up some case 
studies.  Would be good to collaborate on these.

Cheers
