with an electrical tether to the ground you could even supply it power to stay up for extended periods.

Yeah, way cooler if you could afford one.

Regarding cellular network, when I was in Prague during flood in 2002, cellular networks still worked. I hoped that at least one of service providers could offer first 30 seconds for free, (with max. call duration 30 seconds, for example). None of them did that. They gained huge profits. That's hyenaism, if you ask me. But back to topic...
Far more efficient solution is in my opinion to shoot the access point with harpoon. You get to any location within 20 min. range of this device (almost independently on the weather) and you can add cable to it (such as power cable, Ethernet cable, etc.). Not to mention price for that solution. And a small touch, with harpoon, you can shoot to walls, you do not need flat surfaces.]]>Mar 5th 2009 6:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/researchers-develop-flying-wifi-robots-for-disaster-relief/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/researchers-develop-flying-wifi-robots-for-disaster-relief/Mar 5th 2009 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/researchers-develop-flying-wifi-robots-for-disaster-relief/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/researchers-develop-flying-wifi-robots-for-disaster-relief/Mar 10th 2009 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/researchers-develop-flying-wifi-robots-for-disaster-relief/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/researchers-develop-flying-wifi-robots-for-disaster-relief/]]>Mar 10th 2009 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/researchers-develop-flying-wifi-robots-for-disaster-relief/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/researchers-develop-flying-wifi-robots-for-disaster-relief/http://www.survivalstreet.com]]>Mar 5th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/researchers-develop-flying-wifi-robots-for-disaster-relief/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/04/researchers-develop-flying-wifi-robots-for-disaster-relief/Mar 5th 2009 8:00PM
