UK Digital Divide with a G1G1 dimension

  • Project: UK Digital Divide with a G1G1 twist.
  • Proposer: Mike Kiely
  • Other Contributors: programmers from Predictable Network Solutions
  • Audience or Impact; Our initial audience is BECTA, the UK GOV IT provisioning department for all Gov funded schools and colleges in the UK.
  • Brief Descriptions; Two objectives. 1) Get the OLPC on BECTA assessment list for the £30m project to help poor uk kids to get connected to the internet, with a proposal that any OLPC purchase would also purchase an equivalent number for a developing country. 2) We also wish to assess the OLPC as a communication device for other disadvantaged groups, by loading and testing the ekiga sip client on several UK Broadband connections. The notion is to support other disadvantaged groups to get connected.
  • Relevant expeience and other projects; 20 years creating and launching communication services in the UK.
