Dear Electronic Colleagues:
===========================
(3) If you have any friends in Bangkok, pls inform Peter at your earliest convenience.
His previous msgs told me that he devised a scheme in such a way that
K-12 schools in St. Thomas Island in the Caribbean can have
broadband
Internet with spread spectrum wireless technology free of
charge, and
the expensive $45,000/month leased T1 line at 1.5 Mbps to
Washington,
D.C. is subsidized by the charge to industrial communities.
We would like to emulate this scheme for the community
development in
our regional activities of the GUS in various developing
countries.
He also performed many similar set-ups in Africa for U.N. projects.
Dear Peter:
===========
(4) If you have any updated write-up of your activities, pls let me know their URLs.
Thanks in advance, and wish you a very successful trip to Bangkok.
Best, Tak
