We should focus on communities' need in content, the underlying technology is not really the problem 12:38:13 the available bandwidth is of interest, not the channels, here 12:39:05 Adesina: fears that the roadmap is too focused on GSM technologies 12:39:42 Agreed 12:39:49 +1 12:39:54 I agree 12:40:51 Lauri: we said we should focus on widely available technologies 12:41:53 we should focus on the "small screen" devices 12:42:02 ok then 12:42:04 agreed 12:42:22 ok 12:43:07 agreed 12:43:08 OK with me 12:43:16 OK for Lauri 12:43:16 agreed 12:45:40 Steph: Discussion on the Technologies Section 12:46:42 Huge range of applications and potential technologies.
