Abstract
Emerging economies face significant challenges in network access. While cellular network coverage is reaching a significant majority of the world population, good network connectivity remains scarce and expensive in many developing regions [2]. As a result, shared access sites, such as internet kiosks and school libraries, provide the primary alternative of network access for many internet users in these regions. However, the poor networking conditions often make even simple network tasks unpleasant.
