Bjarke handed over a map to Vic Hayes showing the coverage of communitybased wireless network at Djursland.

The reason was the celebration february 6. to 7. of Vic Hayes by an event at the depatment of Technology, Policy and Management at the Technical University at Delft, Holland, and Bjarke was invited to speak over Wi-Fi Community Initiatives - the Case of Djursland.

The Board of Directors of the IEEE had elected Vic Hayes to receive the 2007 IEEE Charles Proteus Steinmetz Award. Vic Hayes is considered the primary inventor of Wi-Fi and has been named the father of Wi-Fi, and as such involved in designing the Wi-Fi standards such as IEEE 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g.

Besides Bjarke key players from the industry had been invited to contribute to the seminar to address past, present and future developments in relation to Wi-Fi.

Bjarke and Vic Hayes first met at the Airjaldi Summit WSFII-seminar in Dharamsala, India october/november last year.

The handover of the map was followed by also the handover of a co-ownership to the Djursland network, as the network was made possible by the foreseen work by amongst other Vic Hayes to create standards which had cheapned the equipment and also the insisting of licenced free spectrum for Wi-Fi.
