In Burkina Faso a little revolution is happening right now: for the first time faster internet connections are being available in the Country. This is a revolution which is for some aspects similar to what happened recently with GSM cell- phones.Previous cooperation projects provided the town of Ouahigouya, in the north of Burkina Faso, of a centre with computers and now a reasonably fast internet satellite connection.I've been in Ouahigouya during the whole months of November and December 2009. The task given by Co.Co.Pa consists of introducing a group of local people to the resources that internet providesand investigate with them on how to use those in an active way. This overlapped with multimedia and communication company ZON interests, in fact I could explore possibilities for the internet as a market in similar contexts.

This project is developed at the Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute with the support of Zon Multimédia, Madeira Tecnopolo, Co.Co.Pa. and local organization ARCAN.
