Gassama:
Do you intend to tell us that this one paragraph piece on is Gambia's plan
for expanding the Internet to rural areas?  Since you work at Gamtel and are
responsible for planning, could you kindly expound on plans in a more
detailed manner? I don't think this is asking for much considering that you
just called a vague paragraph a plan.

Furthermore, given that there is no electricity in most of the areas which so
direly need this Internet access, don't you think we are putting the
proverbial horse before the cart in this case?  We direly need basics before
we can move forward in the direction you people are advocating.  The kids
need desks, furniture, equipment and running water before computers.  God
forbid these kids, see what is out there and start biting the very hard that
feeds them.  Also, given that this a UNESCO led plan could you kindly tell us
the govt's stake in this venture?

I understand that a response might not be forthcoming form you, but this is
my two cents on this issue..
