Building Networks to Help Haiti

Thousands of Haiti Earthquake Victims Still Displaced (24 January 2010) Like many, I'm deeply saddened to see the tragic devastation and loss of life from the recent earthquakes in Haiti. It's also quite distressing to hear the allegations that United Nations relief crews enjoy luxuries such as Wi-Fi and beer while too many Haitians are apparently still not receiving sufficient aid. Wireless technology is essential to coordinating large-scale efforts such as this. Let us hope that government agencies, corporations and non-profit organizations such as Inveneo are better using it than the Daily Mail article suggests. Do you have any positive stories to share from Haiti?
