Have you formally shut down OTHERNET permanently, and declared the project to be dead? Status, please?

The messaging is not running, obviously, either:

So again I ask, is OTHERNET officially now dead?
Status, please. Thank you.

The broadcast is still available and will be available through 2024. After that the main website will likely change to an end-of-life page.

Thank you. That being answered, when will there be content in the broadcast again? Currently, there is no news, weather, messages, or anything else in the broadcast. Have all the news feeds, etc. been disconnected from the uplink?

How much money and administration does Othernet need monthly to maintain service?

8

Maintaining the service in both regions requires about $25,000 per year.

This news sucks. I was hoping to get everything up and running now that the weather has changed and yard maintenance is no longer a thing.

Very sad to see this project go down. I wish Elon Musk would swoop in and fund the project. It’s definately a good cause.
