Hi everyone- The Internet Society has just issued a press release
highlighting on a new agreement it signed with the West and Central
African Research and Education Network (WACREN), where it has
announced its contribution of USD 120,000 to support African Research
and Education Networks' (NREN) work in increasing their skills and
improving their Internet infrastructure. WACREN and the Internet
Society will be working with Ubuntunet and Arab States Research and
Education Network (ASREN) to implement this project. This is the
largest contribution that the Internet Society is making to African
NRENs after its donation of networking equipment worth more than
170,000 USD to WACREN and ASREN back in 2013.
