Thanks for the details Raphael.
I'd appreciate if there are flyers about the Kumasi event to be sent.
Seen the Tamale one and I know the event should be getting underway.

Sending an online petition to them, because 'we want' fast affordable internet? Well, since that won't be the first or the last, I wish to see how all unfolds and hope they respond favourably. But there will be an online petition and after the campaign we will officially submit this petition to them since they are key players.
