[afnog] Looking for knowledge on connectivity in Zimbabwe

[bob evans]

Hello to AFNOG from California

Working with a Stanford Lab. People on this list have already provided me
answers to the questions below. Thank You AFNOG.

So, I already have received lots of information on schools connected in
Zimbabwe.

Now, looking for contacts or others with information on Data Centers in
Zimbabwe.

There is a Stanford Lab Project we would like to bring online in Zimbabwe.

Please contact me offlist   bob at FiberInternetCenter.com
