Dear Colleagues, The posting by Alan Levy regarding small towns building their own high speed internet system is also the justification for the rural strategy being implemented by ATCnet in Africa. The technology is powerful enough and low cost enough for service to be universal and sustainable .... but not at the high cost of capital and high cost of fees and taxation that are recommended by many international development advisors and institutions.
