[wsfii-discuss] WSFII.Africa.207.Summit Update (03/31/07)

Daniel,

Thanks for your efforts and the clarification. I think it would be great
to link up with Kofi's org I am a greater admirer of his effort. 

I do think it is related in the sense that we want to make the world
aware of this potential to provide low cost wireless services to
marginalized communities in Africa. They might have an interest in
supporting that.

Jeff

It was not my intention to move the event. It will stay at UEW. My idea
was to tell the Kofi people and see what support in what direction we
can get. It might just to invite them the spread the WSFII idea. I am
not totally sure how this will be related.

Regards

Daniel
