[liberationtech] Looking for: ICT/telecom expertise in country in Nepal

[Gary Garriott (ggarriott@INTERNEWS.ORG)]

I had occasion to trek to Mahabir's wireless-connected village Nangi back in 2008 with a team from Winrock International. He was also being considered as an Ashoka Fellow and it appears that he achieved that status.  Perhaps either or both organizations could provide current contact info.

The IETF last year gave an award to a Nepalese gentleman, Mahabir Pun, for connecting villages on different mountain ridges together:

I'm not sure how to or if it's possible to get in touch with Mr. Pun or other members of his group...
