I am interested in the meeting to learn about solutions available for Broadband connections In Africa. Certainly the current cost of broadband connection in Kenya… of about $1500 is staggering… Will this meeting cover any Millennium challenge goals?
Cheers!
JM.

I personally have no idea what those challenge goals are, but recommend you check http://www.isoc.org and http://www.ietf.org for more info and to join a discussion list.

I registered for the meeting a few weeks ago, but didn’t pay yet (I have to first be sure that I can come).
The issue is that their is no form proposed for people who are in this situation. I can’t register for the social !
