ISIF Asia Community Networks projects selected from 2018 grants and awards

by Sylvia Cadena

Hi everyone, Just wanted to share the good news about our selection for the Community Networks Grants and Award. The full announcement is attached, for you to learn about the 10 projects selected across different categories. On the Community Networks category, one award and two grants were selected as below. Claire from the project in Aurora will be attending the IGF as part of the award package. I am copying on this email the 3 project teams, as I think this mailing list will be a great opportunity for them to share about their work and join a community of like-minded people. 1. Community Cellular Networks in Rural Aurora: Development and deployment of GSM Community Cellular Networks in rural Philippines. University of the Philippines – Diliman, The Philippines (Cedric, Claire and Erin) 1. Community LTE in Papua: Deployment of the first locally-owned and operated handset to support LTE networks in the world to rural Papua, Indonesia, using low-cost eNodeBs and a custom developed enhanced packet core. Yayasan Noken Baliem Mandiri, Indonesia (David and Ravita) 1. Connecting the Unserved - Bhutan's First Trial with TV White Space Technology: Deployment of emerging TV white space technology as an alternative broadband option in Bhutan. NANO, Bhutan (Norbu) The call for 2019 grants and awards will open in February next year, so information about the categories will be shared shortly before.

hello and introducing

by Bruna Zanolli

Hello everyone, I've been following this list quietly since the beggining of the year as a curious but I recently joined the Digital Rights Programm of Artigo 19 Brasil as a Mozilla Openweb fellow and I'll be working mainly with questions regarding CNs, access and intersectionalities, so I'm finally introducing myself here and showing the interest on exchanching experiences and ideas about CNs, LPFM radios, spectrum policies, autonomous communication and how to make those discussions and spaces more diverse. I've been acting with Free and Community radios in Brasil and connected with Latin America for several years and have completed a masters on MediaLab UFRJ on Communications and Intersecctionalities on the use of radiospectrum last year. So, hope to exchange more with you in the next months! Best regards. -- Bruna Zanolli 2018-19 Mozilla Open Web Fellow | Artigo 19 Brasil

FW: Two Years Ago, India Lacked Fast, Cheap Internet—One Billionaire Changed All That - The Wall Street Journal.

by dc3＠bob.ma

I’d be interested in a reality check on this story “Two Years Ago, India Lacked Fast, Cheap Internet—One Billionaire Changed All That https://www.wsj.com/articles/two-years-ago-india-lacked-fast-cheap-internet… (tell me if you need a pdf or other form). There is still the issue of having to negotiate with a provider for each device in each place for each purpose but that’s a topic in its own right.
