    Hey Joly,<br>
    <br>
    Randy Bush would know a lot of people who fit this criteria as the
    NSRC worked with a lot of local people in Africa to bring
    sustainable Internet to that continent.<br>
    If Hashim can do a little homework, he can find the names of all the
    pioneers by looking through the NSRC's connectivity historical
    database.<br>
    In particular:<br>
