Journal anaesthetica's Journal: "Hajjinets" Hacked Together in Iraq

The Localist is running a story on U.S soldiers in Iraq who have set up their own troop-owned ISPs, termed "hajjinets". From the article:

Since the military provides just 6 to 12 computers for every 1,000 or so troops, time limits of 10 to 15 minutes per day are often enforced at military internet cafes... [By contrast], a typical Hajjinet is built and maintained by one or two soldiers and can provide nearly 24-hour internet access... Most Hajjinets are small, serving between 20 and 30 troops, but ISPs serving as many as 300 are known to exist.
