Hash, let us know if you have anymore sightings during your travels. And … Kari, let us know about your BUV need.
]]>The income stream issue is an interesting one and, of course, financial sustainability is a key challenge for many grassroots mobile projects and one I get asked about often by FrontlineSMS users. Your post brings back an idea I had last year to create an advertising “module” in the software which allows users to manage and automatically insert short SMS advertisements into outgoing messages – space permitting – and track distribution. This would appear to have legs in rural radio. FrontlineSMS is already being used by a number of TV and radio stations around the world and we’re currently working with Developing Radio Partners – run by Bill Siemering – to implement and develop use further.
I’m happy to talk more with you about all of this, and the good folks at InSTEDD. There is plenty of untapped potential, and Liberia sounds like no exception.
Travel well.
