Wireless Roadshow - Status
The Wireless Roadshow is obviously my main focus this year, and I've spent a large part of whatever time I have been able to work, trying to get the ball rolling on the preparation for this project. Recently I went to Istanbul to address the Open Society Institute's Information Program on the projet. OSI is funding the project, and we will be working losely with their Assistance Foundations (local offices) around the world. The chance to address all these people at a single event, rather than try and explain our project via e-mail and/or have to tour Central Asia and Western Africa, was great.
The next big step for the project is to select patners and hence countries that we will work in, especially the initial country, which could have a huge effect on our project. Just to mention a few countries where there seems to be an interest in our project, and a certain potential for the Wireless Roadshow: Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Mongolia, Guinea-Bissau, Senegal. Although that could change as rapidly as it happened in the first place.
