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,

Crystal,
Thanks for your request.  I will mobilize well wishers and ensure we
create the network.  We are coming to Dadaab to assess communication needs
and provide what is needed in a few days.
