Emerginov: Context
Mobile is everywhere IT technologies are generalizedLack of infrastructure and network connectivy limited and not always stable
African Youth is skilled, trained and imaginative
Litteracy rate is low and there are lots of vernacular languages
We need a Platform to manage simple telco services (SMS based, kiosk)
The platform must be openBased on commodity hardware
Use Open source solution to share the dev and production environment
Everything including call control could be done through web interfaces/API
Organize codecamps, trainings, hackathlon but let local people develop for local people
Focus on vocal services
A real-life infrastructure
3 core platforms (France, Mauritius, Senegal)6 Gateways (Botswana, France, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Senegal)1 open source solution (Botswana)Several Pre-studies in progress (CI, Egypt, Uganda)
