That's what a friend of mine said last night when I told him I was off to Zambia to sort out a Wi-Fi Mesh Network for Linknet. The truth is, Linknet are bringing the Internet to 25 rural African villages. They've asked that I come and help them with their mission.
In Western countries, the Internet is taken for granted. We use it all the time for business and pleasure. In Rural Africa, things are vastly different. The Internet will be such a massively essential part of people lives, we're proud to be helping out.
I'll be off on November 11th 2009 for ten days. During my time there, I'll be helping the Linknet team with their existing network and adding 5 more villages. What a great opportunity - I can't wait to get them going.
