  • Josef: 3G has a range of 5-7kms signal reach/ availability but we reach 22kms by using a pole and directive antennae. 3G is the only way to get schools connected. Serving the 3G network will not cause traffic on the network
  • Mike put out the scalability challenge that Basic Internet Foundation may be face
  • Josef: The scalability problem is addressed using our internet lite model where the free information will be readily available on the server and the premium model will cover the heavy content that users will have to pay for through our voucher payment system on our platform. The notion is to keep the costs in the village low
  • Carlos: The capacity of link is limited thus a capacity problem in the network for them
  • Carlos. There is a need to provide linkage, step by step on content
  • Josef: The regulatory compliance is a nightmare for the network
  • Josef: There is a need to have a repository for Amp pages which can therefore be used for free
