This is an example of why I believe in WiMAX, and would like to promote it: Internet connectivity for emerging and 3rd world markets.

“The program’s launch in Kenya is the result of an agreement that Intel signed earlier with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Cisco, Microsoft and Kenya’s Ministry of Education (MoE).”
The Kenya ICT Board will deploy the content in more than 300 Pasha Centres throughout Kenya. The Pasha centres provide a suite of services to the public via computers connected to the internet.

Good Luck Intel!
