Delivering Services to the Rural Poor through ICTs Global VSAT Forum
On a drive into Portland from Sunriver, Oregon, Darrell Owen, the projectmanager for the last mile initiative (LMI)project in Vietnam, received a unique call on his mobile phone. The call was from half a world away, from an Intel colleague who at the time was in TaVan, a small remote rural village located in northern Vietnam. The call wasplaced over a recently installed broadband network using several newer technologies available in the marketplace—here applied for reaching into rural locations. If there was ever a rich information and communication technology (ICT) “leapfrog” deployment, this was a showcase.
