AOB
We should line out the way for a) development of rural areas and b) the path for digital inclusion.

Regarding the development of rural areas, perhaps a study by Danica on development: electricity, light, mobile telephony, ....

Regarding the path for digital inclusion, we should establish the framework for a village platform:
 * digital health
 * education
 * community
 * business (local)
 * business (global): banks,

Note from Danica Few years ago I interviewed a program manager in Uganda, Text for change project that used basic text information to support women and education. Now I see that this project web site has been changed and TTC Mobile took it over http://ttcmobile.com/about-us/ They are active, and take a look at their list of partners http://ttcmobile.com/partners/
