Dear all,

Just in case it's of interest, episode 4 of our new podcast series *In beta* is
now live: https://soundcloud.com/in_beta/are-we-missing-the-
bigger-picture-behind-network-disruptions-ep4

This episode, recorded at the Internet Freedom Forum in Lagos, Nigeria,
looks at the bigger picture behind network disruptions (or internet
shutdowns as they're more commonly known), with contributions from Deji
Olukotun from Access Now, Julie Owono from Internet San Frontiers and
Arthur Gwagwa from Strathmore University and the Open Technology Fund.

Thanks for the positive feedback on the series so far. As ever please feel
free to share with anyone who might be interested; and let me know if you
have any questions about the series, or would like to be involved.

Thank you!

Best -
Sheetal.
