It caught my attention and I am so intrigued to not feature it here.
Paul English, the co-founder of one of the largest travel booking site, Kayak.com, has a plan for Africa: free wireless internet coverage.
According to Fast Company article, Mr. English aims to devote the next decade to this seemingly impossible project, considering the huge funding requirement and political as well as corruption obstacles.
A partnership between non- and for-profit entities are in the working and trials have been rolled out in villages from Burundi to Uganda and Malawi to Zambia.
Mr. English aims to scale it up to the whole content.
If you want to be part of it, you can also join the non-profit at joinafrica.org
