Is Othernet officially now dead?

@Syed

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

@Syed
@Tysonpower
My receiver is obviously still working:

It is downloading something, what?

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?

Should be working again now, sorry for the issues

Thank you. It is nice to be able to read the news again!

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

Syed · July 28, 2024, 5:04am

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