dc.description.abstractThis is a detailed report of the FMFI (First Mile/First Inch) project involving ten project partners from Angola, Mozambique and South Africa. One of the key results of the FMFI project was to expose the gap between National ICT policy and actual practice. Recommendations were made to country regulators for an enabling regulatory environment to support community owned networks in an affordable manner. A research network has been created amongst FMFI partners for ongoing collaboration, and dialogue has occurred with key telecommunication policy officials in discussing ICT for development challenges. FMFI projects work to identify and develop models and low-cost ‘shoestring’ technologies.en
