For broadband is really an investment in an interconnected world of ideas and knowledge that can be spread in seconds from one corner of the earth to another — the “meeting and mating of ideas to make new ideas.” And investing in people and their ideas to solve their own problems contributes more to empowering those people and making progress in the global development agenda than virtually anything else policy-makers can&nbsp;do. </p></blockquote> <p>via <a href="http://ext337.org/the-mothership/broadband-is-not-an-investment-in-infrastructure">Marnie Webb</a>.</p> http://transmissionproject.org/current/2010/10/broadband-is-an-investment-in-people#comments broadband people transformation Mon, 04 Oct 2010 15:17:44 +0000 Ben Sheldon 303 at http://transmissionproject.org
