"Connecting geographic regions that have faced natural disasters or otherwise adverse circumstances continually plagues developed countries, like Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. Existing solutions attempt to reconnect regions via store-and-forward systems, while others attempt to drop portable networking devices into a region from above. However, these systems scale poorly and fail to connect broad regions that are isolated from the broader Internet without massive infrastructure overhead."
Here's what I have so far:
"Reconnecting geographic regions that have recently faced natural disasters or otherwise adverse circumstances is continually plaguing modern and developed countries, with incidents as recent as the damage to Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria. Existing solutions attempt to connect disconnected regions via store-and-forward based approaches, while others attempt to drop portable networking devices into a region from above. However, these systems have shown an inability to scale, and a new solution is needed to connect regions sufficiently isolated from the broader Internet, either due to geographic or societal circumstances."
