(2) Dear Alex and Marco:
====================

It was my great pleasure to have met with you during our Tampere event.

I am very delighted to hear of Marco's endorsement of Alex's proposal
(ATTACHMENT I and II).

In order to set up broadband wireless Internet networks in Manaus and/or
Porto Velho areas, you would need equipment (transceivers) and satellite
segment.

(a) Equipment;

For equipment, I would suggest that you obtain it from Japanese
government as Non-tied cultural aid." To get this, you will need to
submit your proposal to the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of
Health in Brazilia. With their endorsement, your proposal will then be
transferred to the Japanese Embassy in Brazilia which will then be
transferred to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

You may get help from Marco and Nelson to get the endorsement from
the Ministry of Education. You may do the same from Robert J.
Rodrigues, Nelson, Dr. Yamamoto and Dr. Coury.

Dear Dr. Yamamoto:
==================

Many, many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT III). I hope you have
enjoyed viewing the videotape of our GLH from Manaus which I sent
to you before. Many thanks also for your introduction to Dr.
Coury.

Alex, Dr. Yamamoto was kindly introduced to me by Robert J.
Rodrigues.

During my visit to Tokyo last June, I visited the Chairman of Budget
Appropriation Committee and high echelon of the Japanese Ministry of
International Trade and Industry (MITI) on this matter.

When your proposal reaches to Japanese side in Tokyo, we (including the
Foundation for the Support of the United Nations (FSUN)) will support
you -- incidentally, the FSUN was created under the auspices of the
Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

When I visited your university in Manaus in June of 1997, Nelson (then
its outgoing rector) told me that your university has several branch
campuses. When I visited Porto Velho last October, they told me that
they also have several branch campuses nearby Bolivia border.

You may consider to set up microwave broadband Internet networks among
those branch campuses as using similar technology as Shinshu University
Network of Japan and SkyBridge Network of Hawaii which were presented
during our Tampere event.

Incidentally, Jorge Elarrat told me that there is a vacant
frequency bandwidth for this network when I made my talk at his
EMBRATEL/Porto Velho. This is a very important factor.

Those branch campuses may then emanate the broadband Internet to nearby
secondary and elementary schools, libraries, hospitals and any other
governmental and non-governmental organizations with the use of
broadband wireless spread spectrum equipment about which Barry McLarnon
described during our Tampere event.

(b) Satellite segment;

Alex, you kindly introduced me to then President Oliveria of SIVAM who
was then Three-Star General (now four-star general) at Tropical Hotel in
Manaus last October. He told us that SIVAM has three transponders on
BRAZILSAT of EMBRATEL.

I would think that it would be the quickest and easiest way to implement
our broadband Internet to Amazon area, if you can obtain some space
among those three transponders of SIVAM.

On this idea, I approached Col. Ademar M. Galvao Filho of SIVAM in
Boston office several month ago. He told me that, though SIVAM is
administered by Brazilian Air Force, it is an inter-ministry project so
that your proposal would need endorsements from the ministries of
education and health to approach SIVAM.

Alex:
=====

Pls obtain their support as mentioned above for equipment.

Marco:
======

Pls also obtain your brother's support -- you told me that your
brother is a general of Brazilian Air Force and works in the
policy division.

(c) Workshop/Conference for South American Group;

Once you initiate the establishment of broadband digital satellite
Internet in Manaus and/or Porto Velho, it can easily and quickly spread
to the members of Association of Amazonian Universities (UNAMAZ)
covering Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Amazonia, Venezuela, Colombia,
Suriname, Guyana, Brazil -- I think that most of them are under the
footprint of the BRAZILSAT of SIVAM.

The collaboration with them is absolutely necessary, since the satellite
transponder cost is high and need to be cost-shared as soon as possible
with those members.

Looking for this future, you may start considering to hold a
workshop/conference as the follow-up to our Tampere event, but focusing
on Latin American operation.

Robert J. Rodrigues has already offered us his office in the fall of
next year. Should you agree to have your conference there, pls contact
him ASAP, so that you can start raising funds for your organization and
administration and travel expenses of attendees.

Since Robert often visits Brazil (he is a Brazilian), you may have a
small mtg/workshop in the very near future somewhere in Brazil with him
and the people of ministries of education and health, and the members of
UNAMAZ, to plan the workshop/conference at Robert's PAHO office next
year.

(3) Dear Jeff F. Addicott:
======================

I hope you are now having a very successful workshop (August 30 to
September 1) for the Colombian military personnels in Bogota on your
human right program.

When you took Myron and me to Bogota last month, you indicated us your
desire to continue your program with distance learning approach. For
this, you arranged a travel fund for your supervisor, Colonel Guy
Roberts, to attend our Tampere event. He then consulted your US Army
Signal Corp people to attend it. According to him, their reply was that
the cost of T1 (1.5 Mbps) line to Bogota is US$40,000/month which is too
expensive so that they decided not to attend our Tampere event.

I am sorry to say that they missed fantastic demonstrations how to
utilize narrow band, say 33.4 or 56 Kbps, Internet for effective
distance learning with audio- and/or video-conferencings at low (or
almost none) cost, how to build attractive web teaching materials --
even with fly-by or walk-through approach, how to squeeze out satellite
segment to have 384 Kbps ISDN line for non-profit use, etc.

(a) For your second workshop in November (or December), I would
suggest you followings;

1. PictureTel videoconferencing via ISDN line from your office
in Miami and/or Jaggs School of Law at the University of
Virginia;

Mr. George P. Cole and Jaggs School have the equipment.

For Bogota side, pls see ATTACHMENT V below which was kindly surveyed by
Fernando Garcƒa in Bogota.

Dear Fernando Garcƒa:
=====================

Many thanks for your msg -- but sorry to say that Mr. Roger Rojas'
email address at <rrojas@impsat@net.co> must have some error. Pls
let me know his correct address. Thanks in advance.

If you can arrange them in Bogota, you can connect with Mr. Cole in your
office in Miami and Jaggs School through terrestrial ISDN line for two-way interactive videoconferencing.

You need to negotiate the rental of the PictureTel units with them. If
you want to have smooth video at 384 Kbps line, its cost is about 6
times of ordinary overseas telephone call from Miami to Bogota.

Although one-way, you may also ask a help of WorldNet of the US
Information Agency in Washington, D.C., and receive Bogota people's
audio feedback via ordinary telephone. Namely, PictureTel in Miami
and/or Jaggs School will hook up with the one at the WorldNet, and have
them convert it to an analog video to uplink to their INTELSAT satellite
which can be downlinked by the people at the US Embassy in Bogota. In
parallel, you may also accompany with your web to be retrieved at Bogota
workshop site which is then projected to a large screen, side-by-side to
the video received from the satellite. This approach does not require
PictureTel unit in Bogota and may further save your cost. This scheme
will be the most straight forward approach with the use of currently
available, often used equipment and procedures.

When the transcript of presentations from Miami and/or Jaggs School are
available, they may be sent to Bogota before-hand and translated into
Spanish so that an interpreter can read them in Spanish through a
speaker to large audiences -- see further on this translation issue
below about Bill Klemm's msg in ATTACHMENT IV.

2. Videoconferencing via narrow band Internet;

Mr. Charles Fox, Director of the WORLDNET Television and Film Service,
was one of panelists of our 1995 Global Lecture Hall (GLH)"
videoconferencing. I once visited him if the WorldNet would apply
ShareVision via a voice grade narrow band on its satellite. It was a
superb desktop videoconferencing system with whiteboard, albeit only for
point-to-point system. I used it very effectively between my workshop
in Florianopolis, Brazil and the UNESCO headquarters in Paris with a
portable antenna via INMARSAT. I was sorry that the ShareVision was
discontinued by its manufacturer since then.

Mr. Schmidt at the US Embassy in Bogota told me that Ms. Amalia Bernal
was experimenting the use of videoconferencing via WorldNet/Internet
with 56 Kbps modem. On the other hand, Mr. George P. Cole in your Miami
office was also preparing to equip his PC with videoconferencing
capability. I would then like to suggest that Ms. Bernal and Mr. Cole
test the use of NetMeeting of Microsoft (which is available free of
charge at Microsoft's web site), as Roger Boston's fantastic
demonstration of its use during our Tampere event. This
videoconferencing can easily accompany with the use of PowerPoint for
your excellent and interesting pictures and diagrams which can be stored
in your web.

(b) For future after the second workshop;

You also indicated your desire to spread your program to field soldiers
in various locations around Colombia with the use of distance learning
approach.

For this, we need to make further investigation on the availability of
various telecommunications, preferably by wireless and microwave which
were well described by several speakers during our Tampere event.

We may also inquire WorldNet if they would be willing to apply Norman
Okamura's technique to squeeze bandwidth to have 384 Kbps ISDN line on
their INTELSAT satellite so that the US Embassy in Bogota can have
PictureTel videoconferencing system -- which Mr. Schmidt indicated his
desire.

We made a successful PictureTel videoconferencing with American
Samoa, U. of Hawaii, Maui Research and Technology Center, and
Burns Telecommunication Center at Montana State University/Bozeman
several month ago. The link between American Samoa and the U. of
Hawaii was the 384 Kbps ISDN line which Norman devised before on
the INTELSAT satellite over the Pacific.

Since UNAMAZ (mentioned above) include Colombia, you may also join in
their effort with educational and medical communities in Colombia.

(c) A mtg in Washington D.C.;

Anyway, I would like to suggest that we should have a mtg in D.C. with
USIA and WorldNet people. Should you agree, pls let me know as soon as
you come back from Bogota.

(4) Dear Bill Klemm:
================

RE: ATTACHMENT IV;

Many thanks for your msg.

Robert J. Rodrigues once told at a conference of his poor experience
with machine translation.

However, The New York Times web site recently announced their
translation service free of charge so that any articles there can be
read in various languages. Translation algorithm software must have
been substantially improved with the use of artificial intelligence.

Since I noticed not many people in Bogota speak English during my trip
there last month, I will ask your idea to our Latin American colleagues
when they will be ready for their budgeting.

Meanwhile, your previous msg told me that your Forum conferencing system
is now ready for any platform -- remember, I am an ardent user of Mac.
I was sorry I could not use your Forum since I was so busy for our
Tampere event. However, if this is the case I may try it for our Tokyo
conference. Pls let me know.

Best, Tak

LATINA AMERICA INITIATIVE

Dr. Marco Antonio Dias
Former Director of the Division of Higher Education ß UNESCO

Dr. Alexandre Rivas
Universidade do Amazonas
Fundacao Getuli Vargas/ISAE

In Latin America, initiatives to a broadband connection among its
countries will start by Amazonia. The city of Manaus in the State of
Amazonas in Brazil will be the irradiating point. Manaus has an
important geographical position because it is located in the very heart
of the Amazon region. In October of 1998, Fundacao Getulio Vargas
(FGV/ISAE), Fundacao Rede Amazonica de Televisao (FRA) and GLOSAS/USA
with support from the University of Amazonas organized an
International Demonstrative Conference on New Technologies for
eletronic distance learning. The conference put together five countries
through the Internet, ordinary telephone and video tapes. The
conference was broadcasted to South America and to the rest of the
world via Amazonsat (TV and Internet ß www.amazonsat.com.br).

A second and very important point that qualifies the region as the
starting point for this initiative is that in the late 1980s was
created a consortium of universities from Amazonia called UNAMAZ. The
consortium had the objective to promote the integration of the
universities and foster development in the international Amazonia
region. UNAMAZ created the information system from Amazonia (SIAMAZ).
The system had the objective to generate and systemize information and
to promote networking among the universities. During the first seven
years of its creation UNAMAZ was very active and significantly moved
towards its objectives. However, in the last 3-4 years the
consortium slowed down its pace due to some factors, among them, lack
of financial resources. Despite the problems faced recently, UNAMAZ has
the necessary resources, particularly human resources, to support the
development of the proposed initiative. In addition to UNAMAZ other
institutions like FGV/ISAE, FRA and SIVAM will continue their
participation and other may join later.

Efforts to establish a broadband connection among Latin American
countries is the first step to a North/South America and global
connection. The establishment of such broadband connection in South
Amercia will have the main objective to facilitate and promote studies
in environmental sciences and to contribute to the improvement of
health care provision linking public and university hospitals. This
iniative will also give the opportinuity for schools, especially
primary and secondary schools, to gain access to the Internet.

Dear Dr. Utsumi,

agree with the proposal presented by dr. Alexandre Rivas concerning
the latinamerica initiative. The proposal convers the basic elements for
a concerted action in Amazonia Region, benefiting 8 countries (Bolivia,
Peru, Ecuador, Amazonia, Venezuela, Colombia, Suriname, Guyana, Brazil)
and intends to involve a powerful existing network, the UNAMAZ - the
Association of Amazonian Universities. I fully support the proposal and
consider that immediate steps should be taken to transfor it into an
operational project. Best wishes. Marco Antonio R. Dias

To: utsumi@www.friends-partners.org
Subject: Re: Tampere event/Report #1

Tak:

Congratulations on such a successful meeting. You have brought the group a
long way.

In your note, you said that the group wanted to develop infrastructure in
latin America. FORUM has a project it would like to pursue that would tie
into that, but we are still looking for development funding. Here is the
idea:

What we propose to do is to create the first asynchronous Internet
conferencing system that is hypertext-based and has an automated language
translator. This new conferencing system will be integrated with commercially
available translation software for English-Spanish/Spanish-English. Exploiting
the power of a Internet-based program like Forum98 depends on resolving the
issues of support for multiple languages. Language incompatibilities
interfere with discussions and group work by International participants. We
propose a solution to the language incompatibility problem by integrating
language translation software. In operation, a given user would click on a
button to tell the system what his or her default language is. Everything
that person reads or writes is then performed in that default language. Any
annotations or new documents created by that person are automatically
translated into the other language. In short, all documents and annotations
are stored in both languages.

It is just a short extension to move to other languages. What do you think?
