About the Basic Internet Foundation
In order to reach the targets for SDG 3 and SDG 4, digital inclusion and societal empowerment is a key area. The University of Oslo (UiO) and Kjeller Innovation have established the Basic Internet Foundation (BasicInternet.org), to foster solely on connecting the unconnected. The Foundation has established the the concept Internet Lite for All, the free access to information for everyone. furthermore, the Foundation
- has the vision to improve the life of every human through free access to information on the Internet
- promotes and provides the Freemium model for access
- builds Information spots with free access to information, and premium access to broadband services.
Basic Internet Foundation enforces the need to empower the society by fostering trust, and ensuring how this trust as a value proposition is achieved. This value proposition has all to do with the digital participation by the people.
For easy reference I include our website link and our wiki pages below, encompassing our projects and some major relevant information
Recognition of the Work
The Government of Norway (Research Council of Norway, Norad and MfA) supports the work of the Foundation through the Non-discriminating Access for Digital Inclusion (DigI project), involving 11 partners from 9 countries. As part of the DigI project, the consortium has connected 10 villages in Tanzania (see DigI:Villages) and established the basis for local communities building information spots.
The provision of digital health information through publicly available information spots in remote villages has shown tremendous success. Increase of 60% for Cysticercosis (from 16% to 75%), and 30% for Tuberculosis (from 64% to 94%) - see: https://its-Presentation by Christine Holst at the Breakfast Seminar in Oslo on free access to digital public goods
The work of the Foundation was recognised by the United Nations' High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation, and was cited as an example by the Norwegian Parliament Report Digital transformasjon og utviklingspolitikken (Stortinget Meld. St. 11, 2019–2020). See further details at DigI:Publications.

As explained in the presentation, the Foundation has achieved the following
- a cost-effective information spot consisting of a directive antenna, a local network controller and a village/school server. The total hardware costs are USD 300, thus about half of what a smartphone costs. Read more about the functionality at Basic Internet Information Spot
- Extending the reach of 3G/4G networks to more than 20 km, as done in Selela at the border of the Serengeti
- Providing connectivity to schools, and from there to the local society, as done at the Julius Nyerere High School in Migoli (Tanzania), and our blog describing the connectivity at the Nyerere High School
- Point of presence in 8 countries, out of which 5 are in Africa.
- Hackathon with community network members from 5 countries, to transfer knowledge and empower communities to build their own connectivity
- Seminar on school connectivity in rural areas, stating the need for OPEX costs as low as 20 USD/month, as well as content centric deployment to answer the need of the local community/school.
