Hello Mustapha, thanks for your note! We have another Ghana person on
our team too.

JoinAfrica intends to work with for-profit African teams, in developed
areas and under-developed areas.

We plan to start first where there is existing fiber, and to provide
tools to setup bandwidth-shaped free wifi limited to text (and small
graphics). This should grow potential userbase.

And once people want to move from the free text-only Internet to an
Internet with voice, video and large images -- they can then pay
market rates to a local African company to have the "full" Internet.

I expect JoinAfrica to have many phases. Once we prove the free-to-fee
wifi model in areas with fiber, we then need to find ways to use this
model to finance more and more fiber for other areas.

--Paul
