LoBand for slow-speed connections

I found this post on the DTN mailing list. It sounds interesting:
************************************************************

Loband is a free service, designed specifically to improve access to online information over slow connections.

The newest version of the Loband service is now accessible at http://www.loband.org . It can reduce the time it takes for a web page to load by up to 10 times, making Internet access easier and less expensive in low bandwidth environments.

Using the service is as simple as going to http://www.loband.org and typing in the address of the desired page. Loband will then present a simplified version of that page. Loband works by removing unnecessary adverts and graphics while retaining the text, links and layout of the site. The original page or individual images can be viewed at any time if desired.
