Abstract

Several researchers have proposed the use of transient communication opportunities, that is, opportunistic communication, to reduce the cost of rural communication. We propose some design principles for robust opportunistic communication drawing from our experiences in developing and deploying several practical systems. We conclude with an outline of some areas for future research.
