The Non-discriminating access for Digital Inclusion (DigI) project is a three year project, running from 2017 - 2020 with the main objective to establish pilots for the InfoInternet access in Tanzania and Mali. The project was funded by the Research Council of Norway as part of the Visjon2030 portfolje[1]. R&I work related to the pilots will prove business profitability for commercial establishment of the InfoInternet as an independent and self-sustainable ICT and communication infrastructure for digital inclusion. Internet access is a universal issue and of major concern to many policy makers and governments. Free access to information presents the basis for a scalable solution of digital access for everyone in the society.
Digital access to information, connecting the unconnected, is the entry point for digital skills, and addresses to be addressed in the sub- objectives related to digital health, education for youth and women, as driver for digital education (see figure on Population without Internet[2]).
