Kathmandu Valley Cultural Trail, A good model for EcoNet

A typical project mobilizing the local people, Kathmandu Valley Cultural Trail, can be seen as a good model. The involvement of the local people in any project raises awareness, and makes the project more sustainable. Specially if a project creates economical links/ties to local enterpreuners. The value of a project for a society is measured by the way it hits its target within a specific time. Any implemented project may have, an astonishing result, in the long term, but for remote communities what matters is its short term impacts, at least to some members of them.
Innovative Solar Power for Remote Communities project could be made more sustainable by creating that Economic link, what we were refering as Secondary Services. The link could be created by the interests of local Telecom operators to create awareness about their network and , but NSN has a good position to suggest it for them.
If the its possible to integrate the Secondary services into a solar powered Telecom System, then we can say it EcoNet system (a telecom network involving/advantaging local people).
