The Needs
The needs of the developing countries are the same as of the developed ones, the goal to achieve is the same, the means are different.
When you make a plan you have to consider many factors:
The Local situation.
The goal you want to achieve.
The means to do it.
The biggest mistake would be to think too small.
You have to think big, the whole project.
The second mistake would be to start big.
Many project start from the end and forget the beginning.
You have to start small, to scale and try to reach what you planed.

Wireless
|
Very often when you talk about Wireless System, the first thought is toward Broadband High speed Internet.
Which most likely is the best application for the developed countries.
Because there the infrastructures already exist and mostly work.
It is just a matter of lower prices and better deployment.
But in countries like Africa, where most of the people do not even have a Computer,
and some do not even have electricity, talking of Broadband High Speed Internet in the beginning is like
starting from the end.
We will start with Point to Point systems that will transport the available bandwidth through all African Continent
and deliver it in small and big villages, in so called "Communication Centers".
There will be a certain number of Computers, the Base station for the Wireless Phones.
The Communication centers will be like schools or Internet delivery points.
They will be run by African entrepreneurs who will deliver services to the surrounding population.
Only later, with a further development of IT we could think of Point to Multipoint.
Remember: OurGoal is not to build a profitable business, Our Goal is to build the "African Internet", the big Network of Africa.
First the Infrastructures and then the development of ICT.
