Intro of BasicInternet and Wakoma
A common introduction of Basic Internet and Wakoma, recognising that we have a common contact network both in APC and ISOC. Regarding South-Africa, we suggest deepening contacts through SANA https://www.sanassociation.com, a.o. Sanjay Maharaj and Wenzile Madonsela Msimanga We both see that purely commercial roll-outs will just increase the digital divide, see

Common development effort
The BasicInternet "village platform" http://yeboo.com for distribution of digital health information was developed as part of the "Digital Inclusion" (DigI) project, focusing on Digital Health Promotion in remote areas in Tanzania. Thus, we focussed first on the challenge of access, providing Solutions for access to the mobile network more than 20 km away from the 3G tower, see Selela at the border of the Serengeti.
Seeing the need for such a platform, we work on an open-source implementation of the community/village portal, linked to the vision of a National Knowledge Portal.
