telecommunications.

"How we put together our own African ISP on a shoestring"
by Mark Moore and Casey Smith
http://home.att.net/~africantech/Internet/Uganda-ISP.htm

The Source is a non-profit Internet service provider based in
Jinja, Uganda.  With a cost of US $9,000, they were able to launch
their non-profit service and provide local access for people and
businesses who couldn't sustainably afford the long-distance
dial-up costs into the capital, Kampala.  See how they arrived at
their solution to this challenge, how they acquired their equipment,
and how such efforts could multiply rapidly all over the developing
world - in a very practical, affordable, and sensible way!

ATF has worked since 1988 to continue helping in and spreading
the word about science, technology, and industrial development in
Africa.  Help spread the word about these developments to all
interested in Africa's present and future.  All African scientific,
technical, and industrial organizations are welcome to join the
original African Technology Forum in these and other efforts!
