GrameenPhone in the News

Great to see that this project I am working on is still getting press coverage. And rightly so, I feel. The development impact of the Village Phone Program (GrameenPhone's rural telephony expansion project) is enormous, providing not only connectivity services to people who would otherwise be unable to afford them, but also empowering women whilst providing them with a livelihood, and establishing the communications infrastructure necessary to allow other businesses (including even basic agriculure) to thrive. Why the hell did this miss the limelight at WSIS?
