[wsfii-discuss] Workshops at WSFII Africa 2007

Wed Apr 25 08:32:02 UTC 2007

I'm more and more thinking of linking all wireless network of Africa into an
association where we could plan and share resources, Association with more
experience like Wireless Ghana could share experience with association busy
being created like those of Congo and others...

The funding is a real problem we are facing the same thing and in fact we
noticed that we have become ourselves the funder!!!!
