In rural Botswana, Internet was unaffordable, $1500 a month for just 20 megabits per second. Then Giga teamed up with Smart Bots. The collaboration used school mapping and pooled procurement to expand access and slash costs. Now schools get 100 megabits per second for $100. That's 15 times more speed at a fraction of the cost pooled procurement works. Lower costs, more kids connected.
