[kictanet] Day 4 Talk2Facebook ~ Connectivity & Wrap Up

[Barrack Otieno]

Hi teacher Karis,

What I have seen locally is the partnership between FaceBook and Surf, they
have Hotspots in Ongata Rongai in Kajiado county and Kisumu City, Kondele,
Manyatta areas and the main bus Stop. I would like to know from @Mercy
Ndegwa <shikondegwa at fb.com> the impact of this partnership in the local
community and the kind of uptake of the products and services if any being
consumed by the Communities served through the partnership.
I would also like to know if there is any local deployment of the High
Altitude connectivity infrastructure project since i have learnt about the
project during this discussion.

Best regards
