Dear friends of WSFII and community networks !  :-)

Here you got a link to my report to InfoDev at the Worldbank on lessons 
learned from the DjurslandS.net:

_*Explanation:*_
One year ago about 30 open access network initiatives around the World 
had answered the questionnaire which people around the Freifunk.net had 
developed on behalf of OPLAN for InfoDev at the Worldbank.
7 of these about 30 networks - being very interesting and having 
distinct types of PPPs and project finance approaches - were during 
spring and summer 2006 asked to make assignment with InfoDev and deliver 
each their 50 pages Indepth Case Study with detailed data and 
information on their own local open access network.
3 of these 7 is networks established and run purely by volunteers, 
namely www.nepalwireless.net, www.wirelessghana.com and 
www.djurslands.net. Already last autumn reports were published from the 
first two of these 3 non-commercial networks, - now by this e-mail you 
got the link to the one coming from Djursland.
As founder of DjurslandS.net and educational leader of the "Djursland 
International Institute of Rural Wireless Broadband" (DIIRWB), InfoDev 
asked me to do the indepht study on behalf of the Djursland society. It 
is now finalized and it consist of 52 illustrated pages in letter format 
and it was send to InfoDev by the 6th of March 2007. It is called: 
"Lessons learned from the DjurslandS.net experience - An In-Depth Case 
Study of the Huge Rural Area Wireless DjurslandS.net in Denmark". What 
we learned - and now can teach internationally - is really mind blowing 
and sensational, and it has the potential to bridge the technological 
and social devide between rich and poor societies around the World. - 
Please read it and - if you are not one already - become a bridge 
yourself ! ;-)

With Smiles and Friendliness from Bjarke :-)
