 impossibility of ensuring connection costs to the E-Learning
platform in rural areas

As we have the ability to talk to Governments in Africa, and being an
actor in the ICT/Telecommunication field, we may overcome these

hurdles, as following:

 Advertising in pan-African journals which countries have already
embarked on the project, thus creating a climate of competition.
 Describing the progress of the project in each country, giving
progressively the rate of internet penetration in the country.

 providing for rewards by ranking in the completion of the project
 asking the NGOs of the African continent to participate in the
provision of technical equipment in rural areas

 Asking elected officials from different rural areas to equip their
schools
 Encouraging different countries to request assistance from

UNESCO, the World Bank and Regional Institutions.
 Informing governments of the advancement of space technology
and its impact on the development of their various countries.
