Agreements and further steps
- Andy and Richard to go through the documentation and "ask for clarification"
- next meeting for clarification Andy to invite (Josef has unlimited Zoom, or gotomeet.me/BasicInternet)
Topics addressed
- The challenge to bring educational and health information out to people, e.g. COVID-19 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc3ojifPRlc - does not reach those whom it should reach, due to lack of network, cost of connectivity, device, digital literacy
- The recommendations from the United Nations' High Level Panel on Digital Cooperation, especially 1A (access) and 1B (digital public goods), see: DigI:Publications#Further_Reading. Regarding 1B, the Norwegian Government is actively involved in https://digitalpublicgoods.net/
- Our suggestion is the Free access to the National Knowledge Portal, which can hold Education, health, governmental information and digital public goods.
- Presentation for DFID - Media:202005_Freemium_KnowledgePortal_Visjon2030_Noll.pdf
- the value proposition to government, e.g. Government of Mexico: Media:202003_GovMexico_Noll.pdf
Envisaged next steps
- Transfer our village platform into a local representation of the National Knowledge Portal (edge knowledge). And example of our health messages: https://izazi.yeboo.com/health_information_dashboard.php
- Define the architecture for a distributed National Knowledge Portal, as described in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xcbx2iHGaleRRjQ-Y6nDu3Dr254gQtZNS507Qh1kH2A/edit?usp=sharing
Background
The Basic Internet Foundation (BasicInternet.org) focusses on the advocacy for free access to information for all, and build information spots in rural areas where everyone has free access to Internet Lite, and premium access to broadband content
The work of the foundation got recognised the the United Nations' Panel on Digital Cooperation, the Norwegian Government and others, read more at: DigI:Publications
The Foundation is represented in 8 countries, working with communities to establish information spots. See DigI:Villages. The Information Spots are based on three elements, (i) an antenna for Mobile Network reception, (ii) a local network control centre (LNCC) for filtering of "Internet Lite", and (iii) a local village server.
