Bringing Digital Divide
Imagination is the most valuable assets that we have. Any idea is good to be able to bring the new technologies to all the citizens. The obstacles have to be overcome and it has to be gotten them all to have the same opportunities.
Of the hand of Francis Pisani two really innovative initiatives in asynchronous connectivity, it is creation of First Miles Solutions. Daknet is a program that developed in India and consists in giving connectivity to remote villages through wifi kiosks. Up to here everything normal, but the really innovative is as they make the network to these remote places arrive. Everything consists in setting up another wifi kiosk in a bus and while it does the tour collects and it divides up what is sent and is received from these places. And the second is the Internet Motoman Project in Cambodia, it is based on the same principle as the previous one, but due to the difficulties of the land the tour is carried out with a motorcycle.
On the other hand in DDN (Digital Divide Network) is been talking about the possibility to approach to the citizen information services through the podcasting but adapting it to the telephone. With this solution the barriers of the lack of knowledge and that of the accessibility for lack of equipment of access are overcome. The telephone is simple of using and from after use very extended due to its low cost.
