[afnog] Hello - Zimbabwe Datacenter - School Connection Questions

[bob evans]

Hello from California,

My questions are about Zimbabwe. I realize Zimbabwe just began the the
process in 2017 of connecting schools. I understand the hot-seat program
at schools.

I am assisting a tech lab at Stanford University that is planning to help
African countries improve and expand educational opportunities. They will
do this by establish a platform that allows for distant learning, provide
collaboration among students and teachers in a new way, make lessons more
productive and available, most importantly it will expand learning
opportunity beyond hot-seating times, etc.

I would appreciate any knowledgable information on the following:

1. There appears to be a many connected cities on the Liquid maps. How
many data centers exist?

2. Is there a school network hub or peering point - one datacenter better
for this than another?

3. Percentage of schools that have Internet Access ?

4. What is the average size of bandwidth to each school that has internet
access.  (Circuit size to a datacenter from the school).

5 a. Is it more common for a student (or their family) to have a wifi
enabled smart phone, computer, tablet or chromebook?
5 b. What percentage have such a device?

So, that we do not pollute the AFNOG list with this thread, please reply
to my email, bob at FiberInternetCenter.com
