This is a tree 25km from a village people used to come to to make a call. This is a tower we built to let people make a call from home. 5x cheaper than traditional telcos. Completely solar powered.

We built a tower and the village got some SIMs.
See how traffic went nuts in a matter of hours after commercial laumch (red "tch" graph).
Did someone say these people can't afford connectivity?

The mystery of the power bank phone taking over Ghana 01/13/2016

A true point:
"A smartphone that lasts for a full week on one charge would do more to accelerate smartphone adoption in emerging markets than Google Loon or Facebook’s Internet.org."

Bad cell service? Just start your own telco 04/16/2015

Each village deploys its own GSM network with its own base station. They are connected to other villages via VoIP.

All villages can call one another for free and subscribers can roam between the villages.

Patch antennas, located on roof-installed bamboo poles, are used where the base station is not located in the center of the village. That allows for pe*******on into the adobe structures.

Bad cell service? Just start your own telco GSM spectrum is getting assigned to community use in some places.
