Cultivate our garden, and then share it? This seems to be the credo of Open Garden. Created in 2010 by Micha Benoliel, Stanislav Shalunov Gerg and Hazel in San Francisco, Open Garden is based on a buddy system whereby everyone, as long as the size of the user community permits, to use the Internet wherever he seems. The private beta of Open Garden was established in February 2012, as saying that the project is still in its infancy.
The principle is simple: on Windows, Android and Mac OS X (IOS is not yet part of, but should soon join his colleagues), the application, once installed, turns your device - computer, tablet, smartphone - in router. Users of the same application, if they are within 20 meters, then detect the network and can connect to it. This is what is called to overcome the limitations imposed by the operators. To limit the abuse of open-gardeners who would benefit from other connections to download anything goes, the creators of the community thought a credit system. When the small gardeners to share their Internet connection, get credits they can then spend using the other. Everything is free, and that is if the community manages to grow rapidly and internationally, could be much more convenient for nomads.
