[asterisk-users] [VUC] Friday Nov 6 @ 12 Noon EST: Village Telco

[Randy R]

Hello from http://VUC.me or voipusersconference.org

This week on the VoIP Users Conference we welcome the Village Telco
Project  [http://www.villagetelco.org/ ] self-described as "an
easy-to-use, scalable, standards-based, wireless, local,
do-it-yourself, telephone company toolkit".

This is an inspiring project with the stated ambition: "... to render
local telephony in developing countries to be so cheap as to be
virtually free.  Thanks to advances in Open Source telephony software
and the dramatic decrease in the cost of wireless broadband
technology, we think this is entirely possible."

They are developing open hardware as well: "In a nutshell, the Village
Telco needs an affordable device to connect customers to the meshed
WiFi network. The Mesh Potato will dramatically reduce the cost of a
Village Telco startup"

Please join us this week to learn more about this original and worthy
project. We have a very wide range of ways you can be a part of our
community, thanks to the efforts of members of the same community:
