Shareware
Telecommunications™
the
world's first practical and
effective economic model
for bridging the digital divide
bringing wide open access for low-cost broadband information and communication
technologies (ICT) to developing countries and to least developed countries on a
sustainable development basis in keeping with
millennium development goal #8 of the united
nations
Shareware Telecommunications ™
is our way of doing for real what just about everybody in the ICT
(Information and Communications Technology) business has been only talking
about doing for the last ten years or so—bridging the international digital
divide.
In simple terms,
Shareware Telecommunications™ means bringing low cost broadband ICT services
via the SWANsat System to the
underserved people of the world without having to resort to United
Nations programs and globally-mandated taxes.
In a single
sentence, Shareware Telecommunications™ means
pricing high speed two-way broadband so inexpensively that ALL can
afford it.
Even someone who
lives at
the bottom of the world's economic pyramid.
That's right.
We mean
bringing ICT to everybody who wants it.
The Shareware
Telecommunications™ economic model works because the owners and stakeholders
in SWANsat aren't private
individuals, for-profit corporations, or for-profit business consortiums, or
multi-national corporations.
Instead, the
owners of SWANsat are
charitable trusts whose beneficiaries will be a special group of foundations
tasked to fund bringing of two-way broadband telecommunications services via
SWANsat to least developing
countries (LDCs) and developing countries (LCs) of the world.
At a cost of as
little as USD$1.00 per month.
You read it
right.
A 2meg/second internet connection for as little as $1.00 per month.
SWANsat's
Shareware Telecommunications™ economic model means that by selling SWANsat's
services to about 20 million full-paying customers in seven of the G8
nations of the world (that is, to Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the
United Kingdom, and the United States), the profits from those sales will be
used to fund low-cost services to the remaining 230+ nations of the world
that couldn't otherwise afford to have a 2 megabit/second internet
connection.
That's about 4
1/2 billion people...
That's most
of the world.
