AW: [governance] 20th century arrives in Geneva

Sun Mar 10 16:46:30 EDT 2013

Jean-Louis,

thanks for sharing the piece on carrier grade Wi-Fi.

You got to love the "crowdsourcing through client's devices" part... anyone have more (industry-grade) details?

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty

Dear Hakikur, Roland, Peter and all

An interesting article to be found in Mobile Europe is likely to be a useful contribution to this debate. You'll find it here :

http://www.mobileeurope.co.uk/News-Analysis/mwc-2013-carrier-grade-wi-fi-using-passpoint-won-t-be-available-till-2014

I understand the interest that such a topic raises, particularly in DCs where mobile coverage is widely available. A very interesting experience joining WiFi technology and photovoltaics for powering it, is in progress in Cameroon. Info about it can be found here :

www.yocanetcm.net<http://www.yocanetcm.net>
That's why I asked the ITU to add the theme "ICT and Energy : The Virtuous Link" to its workshop program during the next WSIS Forum in Geneva, and to invite qualified people involved in the Cameroons' experience for presnting their project. I'd like Hakikur to present his own experience and its outcomes, and exchange opinions and views with both the Cameroonians and the audience... provided ITU agrees for such an event.

In the meantime, I'd support a sound standardisation for this technology to be successful, effective and sustainable.

Best regards

Jean-Louis Fullsack
