Computer Communication in Developing Countries: Request for Information

AIDS TREATMENT NEWS is preparing a poster for the Vancouver conference on the use of computer communication in developing countries. We are particularly interested in successful use of computer communication despite problems such as limited or non-existent telephone lines, or widespread illiteracy. We are especially interested in social-organization approaches to overcoming these problems, but are also looking at technological approaches, such as radio, packet radio, and satellite communication.

Perhaps you could suggest a person or organization we could contact on this subject. We especially want to locate persons who have first-hand experience in this area.

If you might be able to help, contact John S. James, jjames@aidsnews.org, or 415/861-2432, or by mail at AIDS TREATMENT NEWS.
