Hi Hunter,

In case you are tracking the Ebola response efforts, here's a quick update on the cellular network mapping project.

There's around 95 active users with the Android app right now, mostly from WFP/UN Emergency Telecom Cluster. The 10,000 phones donated by the Paul Allen Foundation through NetHope have had the app installed, so there should be a lot more data coming in soon. This has definitely jumped from the half-dozen phones deployed during Haiyan.

The URL to access the map is http://ebola-cellular-map.resudox.net

In a strange coincidence, Megan Smith ran into someone from the company that wrote the app, and has expressed interest in the project, as it ties in with OSTP's strategy to try to improve the broadband networks across the region.

My ANG enlistment stalled for a while, but I think I was able to "unstick" it last week.

I hope that all is well with you. If we don't have a chance to speak sooner, I wanted to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.

Regards,

Steve
