This event (pdf brochure available here) is taking place in India. Parvez Iftikhar, CEO Of Universal Services Fund of Pakistan is speaking about the progress of USF in Pakistan. I hope the  proceeding summaries (or better yet details) will be posted as it should be interesting for many.

• How can governments best support the creation of self-sustaining rural connectivity initiatives that benefit local people?
