Hi Crystal,<br><br>A few questions...mostly.<br><br>1. What is PC penetration like in Dadaab at the moment? <br>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.<br>
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.<br>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.<br>
<br>Sounds like a fascinating project.<br><br clear="all">

and provide what is needed in a few days.<br>
