Sounds very interesting and relevant to our work in rural ICT market at KATALYST. We are keen to know more about the topic.
Is this a one shot event or a discussion series? I will propose to keep the discussion rolling to get some issues resolved, if possible.
Appreciate is please me posted with updates.
