Why Was I Using a Satellite Feed in DC to Update the Blog?
Oct 8, 2004
by Eric Gundersen

Yesterday I attended the SID-W event, “Communications in Overseas Operations - Wireless ICT Solutions, Benefits and Challenges” at Chemonics International, 2nd Floor Auditorium, 1133 20th St.
N.W.

Panelists included: Eri Rusten dot-ORG Deputy Director with Academy for Educational Development, John Chromy, Vice President, CHF International, Joel Schroeder , Vice President ICT Solutions, I-LINX, LLC and Rosalie Vasquez-Yetter, Vice President Development Solutions I-LINX LLC. The panel discussed some of the latest advances in communications technology for both private and public sector development groups.

After the panel presentation I had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Eric Rusten and Rosalie Vasquez-Yetter about the implications of this improved accessibility for telecenters. Then we went up on the roof to conduct a demonstration of the satellite feed, which is when I posted that rather random entry “Posting from a Satellite in Washington DC.”
