Hullo All,
It's a shame that ISPs didn't jump at the exchange offer! I think another
approach would be to educate the public more, put in newspaper articles
and promote those that have joined. A list of all ISPs that have joined
up and those that haven't might help. I know this is not a very polite
approach but the truth is the customers deserve better!

For a long time I have considered the possibility of mirroring the WOUGNET site locally and so it is with great interest that I read your mail below. How can we go about doing this? Currently, we are hosted by Kabissa.org <http://www.kabissa.org>.

Hi Dorothy.
This is quite simple really. While there have been several methods and
techniques tabled to make mirroring dynamic and scalabale, the only
method
we can go with in the immediate, is to have a main page on your website
that
provides links to either the Ugandan-hosted copy of your site, or the
Kabissa.org one.
The links are based on IP addresses, and users in Uganda with limited capacity would experience faster connections to your website, as it would be accessible via the exchange.
In terms of connectivity, all you need to do is host WOUGNET with one of the ISPs that are currently connected to the exchange; which are:
1. Africa Online 2. Wilken Afsat 3. UTL Online 4. MTN Uganda
Once you acquire colo space at any of these ISPs, the WOUGNET site will
be
locally accessible.
