We are eager to continue our BasicInternet deployment in developing economies, and need your help. Please let us know about opportunities and collaboration partners.
History
Our activities started in back in 2010, when Guy Kamanda asked for help in developing Internet Access in Africa. We created the introduction Our_Dream_Internet_for_everyone and with the help of Vidar Sannerhaugen and Vetle Engesbak from Kjeller Innovasjon we started activities through Nextelco.
We established a series of pilots in 2011, and connected a.o. the Universite de Lisala, and had a workshop with the University in April 2012.
From there we developed the vision of Basic Internet, and created the infrastructure for free access to basic information through the project Basic_Internet_access.
In 2014 we started the Basic Internet Foundation from Kjeller Innovation and UNIK, following the Internet tradition we had at Kjeller. We have now joined forces with the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) for the Vision 2030.
We have connected Universities in Kinshasa, Congo (DRC) to BasicInternet hot-spots, and are working on further deployments.
