[Community] Preparing for a Data-Driven Revolution in Liberia

[Olivier Alais]

Hi Steve,

Your article and ideas are brilliants. You should consider also opening
data from operators as it has been done in Senegal with Orange to find
patterns in order to adapt infrastructure and services. Operators are
sitting on huge datasets which could be useful to improve quality of life.

Best,

Olivier
