My Hatti contact would be a bit of both and the equipment could be earmarked for one or the other. In Hatti even for profit ventures are a bit of a humanitarian effort.
If you are sending them cheap functional hardware I can help the connection be transparent. I haven’t spoken to them to be sure they can setup a good destination for the equipment yet but I expect that getting cheap used hardware would be a bigger issue for them then finding a good use for it. Depending on what we can come up with my preference would be helping the Haitian people create a WISP that can establish a healthy economy of commerce and improved access to information rather then just putting in something free. I don’t believe that a welfare system of free stuff is as effective as empowering people to earn their own way. If your interested let me know what equipment is available ( I don’t need exact numbers just a concept of what we are talking about )… I can pass that info on to my trusted contacts and see what we can stir up. Here is a press release with my company & Edgewater featuring the Hatti project that helped established my contacts (we deployed a WiFi network at Port Lafito): http://thenewswire.ca/archives?tnwcatalyst2=release_id%3D17454 <http://thenewswire.ca/archives?tnwcatalyst2=release_id=17454> Sincerely, Joshaven Potter MTCNA, MTCRE, MTCWE, MTCTCE, UACA Google Hangouts: [email protected] Cell & SMS: 1-517-607-9370 [email protected] > On Dec 4, 2015, at 11:33 AM, That One Guy /sarcasm > <[email protected]> wrote: > > are you talking humanitarian or for profit emerging markets? > > On Fri, Dec 4, 2015 at 9:51 AM, Joshaven Mailing Lists <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > I’m not operating in Costa Rica but I have contacts in Belize and Hatti and > other emerging markets.
