Hello everybody, It is by chance that I discovered this extraordinary initiative forum under the auspice of Association for Progressive Communications.Thanks for the founders of this organisation to have had this wonderful idea. My field of interest is telecommunications. I had always a belief that to communicate to each other should'nt be that expensive. Thanks to the Internet that made the world so small and the people so close. We have now the challenge to make also communication the least expensive possible in telecommunication and there is technologies available to do it. The Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Internet Wireless whether in towns or remote areas are some of those technologies that could make telecommunication services afordable and accessible to every body. I am new on this forum and I am still learning what you have been doing and what you intend to do. But I could tell every body reading this comment that our organisation: Afritel Communications (www.afritelcommunications.com)will be more than happy to explore with interested civil society organisations any possibility of working together and bring the affordable telecommunications means to your communities.
