	Kothmale Community Radio/Internet Project
		The purpose of the Kothmale Community Radio Internet project was to test and demonstrate an access model that reduces these barriers and empowers marginalized communities in rural areas, enabling them to benefit from ICTs to expand their knowledge base and thereby support their efforts to tackle their development problems themselves.
		The Kothmale project was the first experiment of its kind that successfully combined traditional and new media to bring the benefit of ICTs to a marginalized community in South Asia.
		In short, as the Kothmale project largely demonstrates, ICTs combined with community radio support poverty alleviation programs by facilitating the information needs of rural households, and by opening new windows of opportunity for rural youth in their efforts to be innovative and become active partners in program implementation.

	INSPIRE Project
		INSPIRE is a non-profit scientific, educational corporation whose objective is to bring the excitement of observing natural and manmade radio waves in the audio region to high school students.
		These are natural radio waves or emissions coming from such common phenomena as lightning, but there are also VLF emissions that reach the ground that come from ten's of thousands of miles from the Earth.
		VLF radio emissions are at such low frequencies that they can be received, amplified and turned into sound that we can hear.

	B-29 Radio Project ART-13
		The radio was nothing short of amazing considering that state-of-the-art at the time.
		B-29 radio men were typically trained on the BC-375 and never saw an ART-13 until they went with their crews to pick up their own B-29s.
		It was not legal at that time (amateur radio transmissions had been shut down during the war - ed.) for the and yet there were some hams operating in the states and we were able to talk to them.

	Salon.com Technology \| Radio Free Software (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		At its most basic level, GNU Radio is an attempt to do for radio-software developers what the original GNU Project did for Unix developers -- that is, provide a common set of nonproprietary tools that can be ported from one device to the next.
		No longer content with matching proprietary developers, the Boston-based organization hopes to use the GNU Radio project as a prime example of innovation that will be crushed by any congressional legislation or FCC regulation that seeks to limit device functionality, at least on the receiving end.
		Put another way: If the GNU Radio team can develop a proof of concept before the FCC gets a chance to rule on the "broadcast flag" proposal, the FSF and its allies in the consumer and small-business community will have seized the high ground in the subsequent legal battle over innovative fair use.
