Free Access to Information - Microsoft Team contributions
Get a 60 second glimt: Connecting the Unconnected
The Basic Internet Foundation got an invitation to participate at the Microsoft Idea Fest 2019 in Munich in July 2019. 38 non-profit organisations asked Microsoft Germany to help, and Microsoft delivered. Alex Meiling and Hendric Tronsson from Digital Oxygen joined us to promote the idea of "Connecting the Unconnecting" and "Internet4All".
We had the pleasure of having a total of 4 design teams working for us for two days, with a tremendous Marcus Morisette as our host for these two days.
The main outcomes of the 2-days design sprint were:
- Converting the message from Connecting the Unconnected to Free Access to Information is a Human Right (this is what we have to work for).
- The Pony Express bringing content to the unconnected villages
- A Basic Internet App and Information Architecture will help in seamless information exchange across villages and regions.
Given the costs of service delivery, e.g. USD 640 to connect a village with a 4 Mbit/s link, needs a new architecture for #DigitalInclusion and #SocietalEmpowerment. All team members and all visitors appreciated the free access to information, thus work concentrated on the technology behind.
