(Company: domaso established ….)
InfoInternet base standard: text, pictures InfoInternet “gold standard”: max 3 min video, 640x480
What can we do while waiting? - collaboration for Africa - Jim’s approach: certain amount at low speed, after limit is reached “reduce speed drastically”.
—
AirJaldi
- collaboration with Facebook, about half of base stations from Facebook
- no speed below 2 Mbit/s (annoys the customers)
- put existing peaces together, “make it happen”.
3 types of clients
- fixed wireless home (1000 rupees, 60 GB at 20 Mbps, after 60 GB at 2 Mbps)
- fixed wireless business
- hot spots (pre-paid model),
what’s in for Air Jaldi:
- increased subscription from users
- from Facebook: 40% of users convert to full payment within a month, within 3 months Free Basics is break even for a mobile operator (Facebook statements , confirmed by Telenor Pakistan)
India: OTP, or App-authentication, (Pictogram), - clear regulations (100.000 users)
Ideas
- give 30 MB at 2 Mbps
- Harisal (all connectivity is free for everyone)
- 70 villages in a surrounding villages (with paid access)
= Way ahead
- 1) Harisal versus villages in surrounding (study) - affordable access
- comparative study with villages around Harisal (uptake)
- 2) position paper, focus on Global Education, for TRAI, supported from BasicInternet, USAid,++, Norwegian Government
- 3) principal agreement on “trial” (with Air Jaldi), allowance from TRAI
- 4) Further discussions with TRAI
- 5) while waiting, specific (small amount at low speed - slows even more down)
Offering “partial content” - “selective delivery content”
- not blocking
- not preferring any standard
- content type filtering (present an impartial view)
Next steps:
- Harisal versus villages in surrounding (study) - affordable access
- villages around Harisal (uptake)
- “Simplification” and “Literacy” with TRAI — Michael excited “Global Education” (FHI360), worked with Google and others
- auto authentication through an app
- Education and Health Content
- Air Jaldi: Brand, Visibility - Development Goals
Jim:
- fokus on results
- 28Aug…
- AI-Update MoU with Giertsen (4 November 2020, for Josef Noll, Open)
