AW: [governance] 20th century arrives in Geneva

[Hakikur Rahman]

Dear Ronald,

Thanks for sharing from being wired to wireless. While I was building 
the longest WiFi route across several cities in Bangladesh during 
2000, providing services to two public universities, several NGOs and 
the rural electrification board, somehow being mis-informed by 
someone or somebodies, the then head of UNDP in Bangladesh was 
pessimistic about inclusion of this form of technology. Time could 
not sit a back, BBC went there twice to take interview about my 
project and all those concepts of telemedicine, e-learning and 
e-governance flourished in the country since then. (Just a remembrance!)

Best regards,
Hakikur
