GREEN BROADBAND FOR GHANA.

Green broadband means free telephone calls for all Ghanaians starting 2013 and

enriching Ghanaian lives.

--------------

Currently, most countries offer Voip services except for Ghana. Voip stands for

Voice over internet protocol. Voip runs on the internet. Through Voip you can

make free phone calls to any part of the world as long as you have internet

access. The government have blocked Voip so they can squeeze more money from

you. Skype is an example of free phone calls. Just go to the internet café and

type in www.skype.com

Akoto’s green broadband plan calls for internet broadband to be deployed in every

community in Ghana with proceeds from the new found oil. The plan allows Ghanaians

to make free phone calls worldwide 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Broadband will

unite Ghana by breaking tribal barriers. A job seeker in Azim can telecommute for

a job in Kumasi; a medical specialist in New York providing medical consultations to

a patient in Bawku; grandparents in Hohoe video-chatting with their grandchildren in

London; a farmer at Kumawu can sell his or her products to a person in Italy. The

applications that broadband enables provide innovative, efficient solutions to

challenges Ghanaians confront every day.

This green broadband will contain our hospitals, schools, government, businesses and

all other public interest institutions. We will eradicate corruption with

broadband because all government records will be exposed to Ghanaian citizens; from

procurements to contracts to all other accounts. This plan recommends government

use the Internet to increase its own transparency and make more of its data

available online.

Akoto’s plan can make Ghana lead the world in mobile innovation, with the fastest

and most extensive wireless networks of any nation. Mobile broadband is growing at

unprecedented rates. From smartphones to app stores to e-book readers to remote

patient monitoring to tracking goods in transit and more, mobile services and

technologies are driving innovation and playing an increasingly important role in

our lives and our economy. Mobile broadband is the next great challenge and

opportunity for Ghana if we must grow. Imagine what broadband will do for our

eco-tourism.

Every Ghanaian will have affordable access to robust broadband service, and the

means and skills to subscribe if they so choose. Every village and every

community will have access. Not having access to broadband applications limits

an individual’s ability to participate in 21st century Ghanaian life. Health care,

education and other important aspects of Ghanaian life are moving online. What’s

more, government services and democratic participation are shifting to digital

platforms.
