The Internet in developing nations

The Internet in developing nations:

The "Grand Challenge: Connecting every village in the rural developing world to the Internet using a strategy similar to that used in building the NSFNet. We speculate on wireless technologies that might play a role in working toward that goal: Terrestrial, high?altitude platform, and satellite. We conclude with a brief discussion of alternative Grand Challenges and a call for action."
