RightMesh Bi-Weekly Update: June 21, 2019
Business Development
Colombia is a market of high interest to our team due to its government initiatives to improve digital literacy and the desire of the population to get online. Despite this support, significant obstacles to access remain such as the high cost of connectivity and limited infrastructure in rural areas. RightMesh, we believe, can provide a more accessible solution for those being left behind in the digital divide.
As such, over the past few months we have been conducting many discussions with potential partners in Colombia. This week, RightMesh CEO, John Lyotier, and our Latin America Consultant, Damaris Valero, traveled to Colombia to further these conversations. The meetings were productive and we’re continuing research to develop potential pilot strategies to help connect the people of Colombia.
