Google & Facebook Joins A4AI To Provide Affordable Internet By 2015

Imagine the world where internet is made available, affordable and accessible for everyone. When I say everyone, everyone includes people in urban and rural areas in Africa and other developing countries of the world. Social net work giants, Google and Facebook have joined the Alliance for Affordable Internet to make this a reality. Read the full report below.

The Alliance for Affordable Internet is a group of tech companies and industry sponsors who are working together to reduce the cost of internet access, enabling developing countries to get connected via the internet.

While it might seem incomprehensible to some people that a household might not have 4 internet devices, the fact of the matter is that two thirds of the world are not connected at all because they simply can’t afford it. By connecting these developing countries, the A4AI hope to increase the population’s exposure towards healthcare, education and science.Recently, Google and Facebook have announced that they have joined the 30+ other companies who are involved with A4AI. These companies include:
Yahoo
Intel
Microsoft
Ericsson
Cisco

Objectives

The main objective of the alliance is to offer developing countries a more affordable internet access in the belief that by improving internet access, the countries will have access to some of the tools needed in order to grow and develop.

The technological genius companies and sponsors will use their know-how as well as innovative technology to reduce the costs of internet access.

In order to track and assess internet affordability around the world, the Alliance for Affordable Internet will introduce a survey. The results of this survey will be used to formulate the next plan of attack in the war against internet costs.

There will also be changes to policies and procedures helping to reduce costs further which can then be reflected in the consumer’s price plan for internet access.

Lastly, the Alliance will work directly with the Governments of each country, educating and guiding along the way while cutting out the middle man.

By 2015, the A4AI hope to have reduced the internet costs to under 5% of the average wage in 12 developing countries. Credits: Tech Beat.

Coast Aims to Reinvent the Way You Browse the Web ~ By Opera

Opera is undoubtedly one of the fastest, cheapest, and best browser in the world. Huib Kleinhout, the VP of Engineering for Opera is set to reinvent the way users browse the web.

App Name: Coast

Available Platforms: iPad (requires iOS 6 or higher)

Price: Free

Huib Kleinhout sees a lot of possibility when it comes to the web. He has been creating apps and products for the internet for 20 years. And as the internet evolved from simple web pages containing links and documents to a more complex ecosystem rich with visually compelling content, Kleinhout thought the way in which people search the internet should evolve, too.

"Time was standing still and we wanted to change that," said Kleinhout. With that in mind, Kleinhout alongside a team of 20 engineers and designers, developed Coast, a browsing app he said he wants to represent a "new workflow for the internet."

Coast takes full advantage of the iPad's touch technology by allowing users to swipe forward and backward to load websites. Websites load in full screen mode—gone are the conventional tabs and bookmarks, and are reminiscent of the way applications work on the iPad; once you reopen a website, for example, Coast remembers where you were and returns you to that spot. The application runs a security engine in the background and will deliver a warning message to users if it detects a dangerous site.

Is it easy to install?: Coast is a free application and can be downloaded and installed like any other browser application. Once you load the browser, the homepage can be anything and if you want to change it, simply swipe to bring another website to the forefront and open it.

Should I try it?: Coast attempts to join the ease-of-use with applications with the advanced elements of today's websites. The point, Kleinhout explains, was put to put content first and all users to "create a whole new environment."

Kleinhout and his team placed a heavy emphasis on design when engineering Coast in an effort to create a browser that not only stood out as a simpler, smoother workflow, but also was a pleasure for people to use. The look and feel of Coast almost mimics the iPad's homescreen with each website appearing as tiles in a grid, and given the proliferation of gesture-based navigation, adapting to Coast's features is effortless.

Convincing users to break away, however, from some of the more popular browsers, such as Safari, Mozilla, and Google will be a challenge. Still, Coast embodies what Kleinhout sees when it comes to the future of the web.
