Section XX: Links that Mention SWANsat

This page posts only non-press reports. CLICK HERE to see some press reports posted on the Internet. The following links are to external third party web pages that discuss the SWANsat System. Unless otherwise indicated, all links open in a new window. Also unless otherwise indicated, no one affiliated with SWANsat was responsible for initiating the posting or link cited.

The NEPAD Council is now lobbying on behalf of SWANsat by recommending that the AU grant landing rights to SWANsat in return for SWANsat providing 200 free video channels to each member state of the AU and to the AU's Office of the Secretariat. The NEPAD Council endorses SWANsat as a

worthwhile initiative for Africa, provided the promised €1 per 2 Meg/second of symmetric bandwidth for third world countries will indeed be achievable. We will be willing to endorse the project based on that assumption.

We'll be presenting a special tutorial workshop on how SWANsat will serve as a modern Marshall Plan for the African Union at the NEPAD Council's ICT Africa 2008 conference from 13-15 February 2008 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. ICT Africa 2008 will address a wide range of ICT issues in Africa. The conference will bring together engineers, developers, leaders, managers, educators, financiers, and representatives from all over Africa.

YouTube: SWANsat — Bridging the Digital Divide
Rajeev Choudhury's posting of a video of our presentation at the FIT Nepal conference in March 2006 regarding SWANsat. Mr. Choudhury was responsible for posting an excellent and accurate summary of what SWANsat is on the Wikipedia Encyclopedia web site. Due to a libelous campaign from an individual who claimed that Mr. Choudhury's posting ID "WMD" was a pseudonym for SWANsat founder Dr. William Welty, the Wikipedia article about SWANsat that Mr. Choudhury wrote was de-listed from Wikipedia.
