Wanda,
You may want to speak with Karen Buller with the National Indian
Telecommunications Institute www.niti.org
I just spoke with Karen yesterday about our efforts to bridge the divide on
Native American Indian Reservations. I'm in discussions with a few Tribes at
the moment regarding our Learning Center model on the reservations.
I hope this helps.

Hi All, I am new to this list and wanted to introduce myself. My name is
Wanda and I found the article at the Frontline site very interesting. Do
any of you all have knowledge of similar models being incorporated here in
the US to address the Digital Divide that now exists for Native American
people? I know of some existing work being done both nationally and by
individual Tribal Nations - and am trying to gather as much relevant info as
possible. Thanks for any insights you can give!

Andy and all
For those interested in ICT4Poverty Reduction and Empowerment, there is more
from Prof. Swaminathan at http://www.frontlineonnet.com/fl2119/fl211900.htm
, see the articles under "Mission 2007", including an interesting interview
with Prof. Swaminathan.
These articles appeared in "Frontline", the Indian bi-weekly magazine.

Subject: [DDN] Podcast and Photos from M. S. Swaminathan's Speech at the
Baramati Conference
Hi everyone,
I've just posted a podcast of Professor M. S. Swaminathan's speech this
past weekend at the Baramati conference in India:
http://www.andycarvin.com/podcasts/swaminathan.wav
Prof. Swaminathan is one of the world's leading thinkers on the role of
ICTs in global development, particularly in terms of poverty alleviation
in rural, agricultural communities. The speech he gave this weekend is
one of the best arguments I've heard to date on the importance of
bridging the digital divide in the developing world.
The file is rather large, just over 60 megs in size. I still hope to
transcribe the speech, but I am not sure when I will have an opportunity
to do this, so if anyone would like to volunteer, please email me. I
would then post the transcript on the Digital Divide Network website.
Meanwhile, I've also posted some pictures from the presentation on my blog.
