Hello Prof. Nicolas, Hello Georges, Hello everyone. Hope you are well.
Here in Kivu, we already use Telegram a lot, we had difficulties being able to create accounts on Riot. In KIVU as in the whole of the national territory, these are the foreign communication companies (VODACOM, ORANGE, AIRTEL and AFRICEL in Kinshasa) which provide us with the connection, and this is what causes it to have the prices high levels of Internet access due to much higher taxes and the weak control of the Congolese authorities on the sale of Internet packages, weak control of consumption, etc. I also don't know what the cost of opening a regional service communication with Riot can be; maybe it can be done independently without accepting the terms of VODACOM, ORANGE or AIRTEL. On this issue, I want to try to contact these different companies for clarification. I wish you a good day and good work. Yours truly.
