Summary:The aim of this paper is to address one aspect of this challenge - how do we build affordable communication networks in developing regions by adapting technologies originally designed for the industrialized world to be appropriate and sustainable in the developing world environments It is in this context that the role of information and communication technologies (or ICTs) in development has been widely recognized.
