We are very interested in this area, as we also develop open source 
software (e.g. Loband and pmGraph) and provide training and capacity 
building for African NRENs and ISPs. We would like to know more about your 
technology to see how it fits together with the work that we do.

Please could you tell us some more about what your technology is? I 
checked out this link that you provided:

But I did not find the information that I was looking for there, or on the 
TSLab web page (http://www.tslab.ssvl.kth.se/).

I did find some references to research papers published in 2008 which 
appear to relate to broadband and rural infrastructure in Africa, however 
none of them are offered for download. As you probably know, journals are 
very expensive and most development organisations have no access to them 
and therefore cannot benefit from your knowledge and research.

Please could you point me to some more information on your work on open 
source tools and with African NRENs? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Chris.
