A four-day residential course was offered by LIRNEasia, in partnership with Internet Society (ISOC) with the support of the Ford Foundation. It was held at Club Himalaya in Nagorcot during March 28-31. Objective of this course was to enable members of Nepalese civil-society groups (including academics and those from the media) to marshal available research and evidence for effective participation in broadband policy and regulatory processes including interactions with media, thereby facilitating and enriching policy discourse on means of increasing broadband access by the poor. I was one of the faculties of this course and this is what I have presented.
