Hi Crystal, A few questions...mostly. 1. What is PC penetration like in Dadaab at the moment? 2. I understand there are a number of cybercafes running within the camps. Have you considered enlisting their owners as partners in the project? I hope there will be a few Pasha centers in Dadaab soon, they could play a useful role in DadaabNet. 3. Will the content for mobile be delivered over WiFi on mobile web? It may be useful to have it accessible via 3G/EDGE as well in case the number of WiFi enabled devices turns out to be low. 4. Does the Intranet platform already exist? It may prove helpful to build/customize in a place where you have easy access to technical assistance before relocating the servers to Dadaab. Sounds like a fascinating project. Kind regards, *Muchiri* Nyaggah Principal Partner @muchiri +254 722 506400 Semacraft.com On Sun, Jul 24, 2011 at 6:24 PM, <bitange@jambo.co.ke> wrote:
