Technology and the Royal family
I found this link on how the Royal family in the UK has been using technology:
Go to www.royal.gov.uk

press releases

A digital village
An african village joins the global communication network
You may not be aware of the Entasopia community center in Kenya but technology has been able to put this sleepy rural area on the digital map and this is how it was done:
with a VSAT- ( very small aperture terminal)
a satellite dish
a solar panel
routers, servers
computers and
the purchase of bandwidth at the rate of €700 a month from a provider.
The partners in this initiative are O3b, an internet start and Inveneo, a not for profit group working on getting africa connnected to the global communication netwok.
