The google docs/spreadsheets apps is pretty solid.

It’s great to save the educational institutions from the microsoft office licensing costs. I work with the chicago public school district (K-12) and even with heavy discounts the cost to license MS office is significant.

Yes, does the package include broadband? Or is it just a campus-intern solution (~cube)?

Good things!

Now the said universities also need better broadband esp for google talk – If i recall correctly, EASSY was supposed to allocate quite abit of bandwidth for universities…Here is hoping that it all happens quickly.

I did use the internet facilities at Moi University, which were o.k but not nearly as fast as residential broadband where i live. I wonder if UoN has faster facilities.

Hmmm… A Google Cube would make sense. That would be an interesting move as well.

I noticed that comment was left by Riyaz too, one of the organizers behind next week’s BarCamp Kenya meeting.

A comment at the Skunkworks blog asks if Google will be bringing in some servers to cache this offering locally. Maybe a Google Cube :-) ?
