Because its services and bandwidth are shared collectively among clients, bandwidth costs are low. <br /><br /> Additionally, Bandwidth Barn promotes a "culture of entrepreneurship" by facilitating a networked environment, particularly with the Cape IT Initiative; clients, staff, and outside entrepreneurs in the Cape IT network can thereby share advice and expertise. <br class="clear" /></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div><p><a href="http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2126">read more</a></p> http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2126#comment Business Development Activity Telecommunications and IT Activity Active Consumer Non-profit Activity Private Investment Funded South Africa Sub-Saharan Africa Wed, 11 Jan 2006 14:27:53 -0500 _Alex Bloom 2126 at http://www.nextbillion.net
