DIIRWB has been invited to participate in The European Commission’s conference “Bridging the broadband gap: benefits of broadband for rural areas and less developed regions”. The conference will take place on the 14th and 15th of May 2007 in Brussels.
The event will investigate how increasing access to affordable broadband services and the strategic use of information and communication technologies (ICT) can support regional and local development, ease infrastructure and geographical handicaps and make these areas more attractive to business and individuals.
Our experience and knowledge from establishing the World’s biggest and cheapest non-commercial rural wireless community network on rural Djursland in Denmark, made us want to share our knowledge and help other rural people around the World bridge the broadband gap in an affordable way. As we are also deeply engaged in building services on top of the broadband wireless infrastructure initiated and build by Djurslands.net, DIIRWBs presence at the conference is obvious.
We will be present at a stand at the exibition, which is part of the event. Our project will be visualized by the headline “Rural Internet at 1/3 of Average City Price”.
