[CWN-Summit] Information about Danish CWN /

[Paul Gardner-Stephen]

Hello all,

Can someone from the Danish community broadband network reply with
some information about your network?
I recall there were some very attractive figures on comparative
pricing compared with the rest of Denmark.

This would be helpful information for me as I consider putting in a
submission to the independent members of parliament who now hold the
balance of power in Australia.
They are all representing rural and remote electorates, and broadband
and telecommunications are critical issues for them.

I would also love to hear from anyone who is interested in assisting
in formulating the submission in any way.
The time line is tight to strike while the iron is hot, so it would
not be a drawn out process.

My plan is to ask for about A$10,000,000 (US$9,000,000) to fully
develop the Serval BatPhone software so that rural residents in
Australia (and of course anywhere in the world) can purchase
compatible telephones and start using them as the basis for forming
their own community mobile networks.    This will include the
development of a number of related components, including low-cost
satellite interconnection for the ability to create truly globally
connected community mobile telephone networks anywhere in the world.

Given the current plan to spend A$43,000,000,000 on a national
broadband network (which is a good thing), it seems reasonable to
obtain the ten million we are asking for.

If successful, I fully intend to engage with the CWN community to
undertake the various development and testing tasks.
