Absolutely fantastic. I was going to send you an email, and to Ethan too. Whatever you do, the Technology Assessment Project is hijacking you on Saturday, 23 July 2004 and part of Sunday July 24. We aim at encamping the highest calibre IT crowd in Ghana to discuss new developments in IT policy - the government has issued a raft of mould-setting e-laws, the World Bank has announced a 40 million dollar e-Ghana project, and, the World Bank, again, has issued a new sector strategy for ICT in Ghana. For those of you not familiar with Developing Countgries like Ghana, the World is almost our new imperial centre, it provides the lead for many important policy developments. It has been tardy in ICT and telephony issues in Ghana, but it is coming into it big time. Its private sector affiliate, the International Finance Cooperation has recently given a mobile phone company in Ghana a loan of $40 million dollars. For those of you in Ghana not familiar with Andy, he is the inventor of mobcasting, an extension of podcasting. He recently discovered that he is a relative of our own Ethan of geekcorps and Legon Dondology fame.

I'll be splitting most of my time between Accra and Patriensa, with a possible visit to Kumasi as well. I don't have my full itinerary yet, but I'm hoping I'll have some free time to get together with local DDN members if anyone would like to say hello in person. So if you're in Ghana, please send me an email off-list so we can see if we can meet up during my visit. thanks, ac -- ----------------------------------- Andy Carvin Program Director EDC Center for Media & Community acarvin @ edc . org http://www.digitaldivide.net http://www.tsunami-info.org Blog: http://www.andycarvin.com ----------------------------------- _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message. _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
