Dear Ben:
(1) Many thanks for your msg ( ATTACHMENT
I below) in response to the Reference (a) above.
(2) Our planned ÒGlobal Lecture Hall (GLH)Ó videoconference on the occasion of
the Global Early Warning System (GEWS) conference at the Stevens Institute of
Technology on April 18th will have participants from selected countries of the Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS), which are
listed in the last page of the Reference (c) above.
(3) According to Victor and Mool, their ÒAfrica Coast
to Europe (ACE)Ó ultra high speed (5 tera) optical fiber submarine cable has already landed to
the following countries;
Gambia,
Sierra Leone,
Liberia,
Ghana
Nigeria — from this coming July,
Benin — by the end of 2013
I wonder if this will compare the effectiveness of broadband in former group
with narrow band of the latter during our GLH on April 18th.
(4) According to Michael, the minimum speed of the participants has to be 28.8
kbps speed or above (Broadband connection is HIGHLY recommended) -- see ATTACHMENT
II below.
Dear
Michael:
Many thanks for your msg.
(5) As mentioned in the Reference (d), we have been advocating the deployment
of broadband Internet with optical fiber-net connecting various African
countries — hopefully with the use of the Japanese ODA fund in addition
to the US$ 4 billion pledged by them for the construction of traffic highways.
If succeeded, this may also help your Megaconference
project, too.
(6) Pls feel free to contact anything about the
network connections of ACE to Victor and Mool,
GLORIAD to Greg, and videoconferencing to Michael.
Dear Ed:
(7) Many thanks again for your introduction to Ben.
Thanks also for your msg in ATTACHMENT
III below. I think it is very timely.
Dear Ben:
(8) We would be very delighted to have your help since we expect to have
frequent GLH around the world from now on.
Keep in touch.
Best, Tak

Thanks Tak. Can you provide any details regarding the
network and video
technology used for this event?
I'd be interested to understand what resources you have access to in
Africa, as we would like to bring African countries into the cohesive
global video environment we are building.
Regards,
Ben
