Dear Judith:

(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I below) in response to the Reference (a) above.

I thanks you very much for your kind invitation for our paper to your forthcoming book which will be sponsored by the prestigious Columbia Institute for Tele-Information (CITI) of Columbia University.

(2) The Reference (b) above is my following paper;

The Global Knowledge Center Network (GKCN)
with
The Global University System (GUS)

I would greatly appreciate it if you can accept it, which is at 17 pages.

Dear E-Colleagues:

(3) I strongly encourage your submitting an appropriate paper to her, too.

(4) As said in this paper, the naming of our project has been changed from "Globally Collaborative Environmental Peace Gaming (GCEPG)" (Reference (b) above), to “Global Early Warning System (GEWS)” (Reference (c) above), and then to the current Global Knowledge Centre Network (GKCN). We will use them inter-changeably — this is because the GEWS is often mistaken with the capability of predicting the occurrence of earthquake/tsunami, etc., which is certainly beyond of our capabilities.

Keep in touch,

Best, Tak

Dear all,

Thank you Tak for this very interesting set of references. The cost of cable laying has always heavily been weighted at the trench digging site which is traditionally a huge part of the cost of the infrastructure, in the rangers you have indicated and sometimes higher.

I note that we are getting ready to send the set of publishable papers from our Zambia conference: Next Generation Broadband as a Video Platform, Strategies for Africa, to the publisher. If any of you have publishable papers that are ready or capable of updating and editing within the next week, we will be pleased to review them to determine if the paper fits into the book and include it with all appropriate attributions to address any IT issues. Currently we have only one chapter on a Western African country so that if you have something on Nigeria that would be particularly exciting. Our chapters average 12-16 pages and we may be able to accommodate slightly more length if the substance is there. Springer is our publisher and this will be an academic publication, sponsored by Columbia University, Columbia Institute for Teleinformation and edited by myself.

Best regards,

Judith
