the story of the conference so far
A lot of people are talking about Bukeni Waruzi.
“He’s from Sud-Kivu - and he has to cross the national border to go to Burundi for internet access. There’s no internet access where he lives, and it costs him about $2 U.S. to get the paperwork to cross the border, plus transportation… and $1 U.S. in that part of the world is a lot. . . . Where he lives, there are no land lines. Everyone uses cell phones. And one of the projects he works with includes routing messages to the authorities when there are problems in villages - very similar to ARC, but without using SMS for the most part. This is a people-network, and is a very core way to do a network - a core which is lost on most geeks.
