Very interesting Nico. We'll have to keep a close eye on them and see that
they are exposed in the way they should be.
It really feels like they're stealing our thunder and making it profitable
for those mega-corporations, instead of just giving people free access.
We'd really want some person to maintain the database of networks and their
solutions, once the material starts coming in. I wonder, if we'd actually
be able to use some of their research and data for our more benevolent
project.

Well, I'll be damned. We obviously need to work together.
Well I wouldn't go that far :)
I see Facebook, Verizon, World Economic Forum as Dynamic Coalition
Speakers here:

and it makes me think: we can maybe share some work, but I don't exactly
imagine us working together as in with a common perspective.
I've been invited to a WEF organized event in Buenos Aires a week ago
framed in the Global Connect Initiative and the Internet For All program. I
can assure you there was almost no one there sharing perspectives with most
of the people I know from our DC3. Lots of big telecos, banks, credit card
companies, etc. The words may sound similar but the focus is very different.
I guess it will be interesting to see what this Dynamnic Coalition will
actually be working on in the future.
Cheers,
Nico
