== Nextelco and Internet.org ==
 
<big>[http://internet.org Internet.org]</big> is a global partnership between technology leaders, non-profits, local communities and experts who are working together to bring the Internet to the two thirds of the world’s population that don't have it.
 
Sharing tools, resources and best practices, Internet.org partners will explore solutions in three major opportunity areas: affordability, efficiency and business models.
 
 
;Affordability: No one should have to choose between access to the Internet and food or medicine. <br/>Internet.org partners will join forces to develop technology that decreases the cost of delivering data to people worldwide, and helps expand Internet access in under-served communities.
 
 
;Efficiency: Transmitting data—even a text message or a simple web page—requires bandwidth, something that’s scarce in many parts of the world.  <br/>Partners will invest in tools and software to improve data compression capabilities and make data networks and services run more efficiently.
 
 
;Business models: Connecting billions of people will be a massive global effort that requires ongoing innovation. <br/>Developers, mobile operators and device manufacturers will work together to introduce business models that give people more ways to go online.

<big>[http://www.nextelco.net Nextelco.net] </big> aims at providing infrastructure for affordable and efficient access to the Internet, supported by our user-driven business model.
 
 
;Affordability: Our ultimate goal is that every person should have a free, though bandwidth limited, access to the Internet. Through user-involvement we have demonstrated that our access solution is much cheaper than conventional approaches. Together with our partners are actively seeking for solutions which will provide even cheaper Internet access
 
 
;Efficiency: We believe that the basic need is to get access, and that users are willing to pay more for broadband services.  Our focus is on the basic need of providing the access to information for education, health and innovation.
 
 
;Business models: Our approach of ''user involvement'' results in the a network infrastructure where ''the user owns the network'', and we provide the backbone access. Our resellers have demonstrate innovative solutions for providing access.

We believe that access to the Internet will contribute to
 
;Education:  Education means access to public knowledge through libraries such as [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia], to background information, to basic and higher education. Nextelco has established partnership with the Center for Wireless Innovation Norway ([http://cwin.no CWIN.no]) for higher education in wireless networks, and seeks cooperation with partners providing help in education on all levels. <br/> CWI Norway has a close collaboration with Nordic Universities in Denmark (Aalborg University), Finland (Lappeenranta University) and Sweden (Karlstad University), and through the partners reaches a worldwide network of educational institutes.
 
 
;Health: Health information is available in the Internet to at large account. By providing doctors and patients access to the Internet we will contribute to less mortality.
 
 
;Innovation: Innovation is best fostered when people with different background discuss. Our approach of ''user involvement'' brings people together, and creates links between emerging economies and the Scandinavian countries.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide Internet for Kongo, using the new concept of user involved service and infrastructure provision. While the backbone is provided by Nextelco, the rest of the infrastructure comes from users supplying their own hot-stops. Our aim is:

  • To provide a cost effective internet service to majority of people in DRC Congo
  • To be on the top of people driven technology by developing End users driven technology that serves the hard to reach rural as well urban and suburban populations
  • To implement a Business Model that profits to end users while opening big business opportunities to many
  • To open a path to development and industrialization in general by connecting the world to Africa and vis versa

What Nextelco recognised in emerging economies like Congo is a real challenge. Today when you see a PC at the remote university, you ll see a minimum of 10 students sharing a small screen of a notebook. We believe that in about 60 months 70% of the students in DRC Congo will have each, a notebook or smartphone with a retailed internet available for student. The internet which today is only for well-established people will soon become a consumer product in Africa. The internet is the accelerator we need in emerging economies.

One of our first installations was the Internet provision to the University of Lisala in the Democratic Republic of Kongo (DRC). After that we have

  • connected various sites in Congo,
  • demonstrated the concept of voucher-based access to the Internet through user-owned hot-spots and
  • provided a self-financed Internet access solution for Universities.

We are now open for collaboration world-wide to provide our solutions of Internet access. If you want to see more, visit our page on Our_Dream_Internet_for_everyone, or visit us at Nextelco.net
