World Ahead Program Moves Forward
(old news - 09:45AM Saturday Dec 23 2006)
tags: world · broadbandbits
Broadband services are an increasingly important utility for developing countries, improving areas of life such as health care and education for people all across the world. Intel is working with the government of Oseem to bring those services to Egypt. Government Technology reports that Intel has already “installed a state-of-the-art WiMax network to connect two public schools, a health care center on wheels, a municipal building and an e-government services kiosk”. This is part of Intel’s World Ahead Program which hopes to “introduce the digital world to the next billion users”.

Intel in this to sell their Wimax enabled chips

I hate to sound like Scrooge, but Intel is pushing for Wimax broadband in their "World Ahead" program in order to further their own ends - the expansion of Wimax and the Intel chipsets that support Wimax in PCs. Nothing wrong with that, but it isn't being done out of some philanthropic impulse.

P.S.> Broadband isn't a utility no matter what the UN says. Just see the comments in this BBR thread quoted in the above news item: »UN Says Broadband a Utility

Re: Intel in this to sell their Wimax enabled chips

Nice picture of Cairo, but what has that to do with the story and the other posters claim of Fiber to the hut. The rollout is in Oseem, Egypt - not Cairo.

OSEEM, Egypt, Dec. 18, 2006 – In a small city near the Nile River where cars compete with cattle and modern conveniences are scarce, Intel Corporation is using computers and wireless technology to help Oseem's 200,000 residents
Of course, the story isn't talking about fiber either. It is about Wimax.

A Great Idea

Now the moslem terrorists can plot activities with broadband access instead of the slow dialup they used on 9/11. Bah humbug.

Backspace See Profile does have a point. After all Egypt is the birthplace of the Muslim Brotherhood, [ »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood ] the first radical Islamic organization.
Buy Intel stock to support terrorism.

They have plants in Israel and also sell to Egypt, making money on both sides does not seem to be favoring one side vs another.

click_310 See Profile, if I remember correctly, the most notorious of the 9/11 hijacker was Egyptian. Although Egypt currently has a moderate group running the government, it may not last long which may allow the moslem extremists to gain power. Giving them broadband access can only hasten the islamofacists' attempt to take over the world and convert everyone to their religion and rules.

See »www.cns.miis.edu/research/wtc01/alqaida.htm

quote:
Total Members: According to an Arab security service, al-Qaida consists of 2,830 members, including 594 Egyptians, 410 Jordanians, 291 Yemenis, 255 Iraqis, 162 Syrians, 177, Algerians, 111 Sudanese, 63 Tunisians, 53 Moroccans, and 32 Palestinians.[1] These numbers may accurately reflect the proportion of nationalities in the organization, but it is doubtful that anyone (including bin Laden) has such exact counts. There are estimates that the number of members may be much higher. Many al-Qaida members are Mujahideen veterans of the Afghan resistance against the Soviet occupation. These militants fight not only for their cause, but also because it is the only life they know. Most cannot return to their native countries because of their militancy.

Is this a good thing?

Egypt, the birthplace of what we now call "radical islam." Is the rollout of broadband there a good thing? yes and no... it is if the general population is allowed to use the web as they see fit without restrictions and blocked sites.. it's bad if they do what Iran does and they block any site pertaining to democracy, freedom, science and porn (anything western) and at the same time push their own twisted agenda. it's kind of funny because Intel is on the list of companies that Islamists are taught to hate because of Intel's "zionist" ties (which of course, is an absurd, bogus accusation).
