This project aims at connecting african rural villages using Android phones with delay-tolerant networking. The idea is that people carrying their Android mobile phones and traveling from villages to cities will carry data with them. When they are in the village, they will download data from a WiFi access point (in a telecentre with no internet connectivity, for example). Once they reach the city, they will connect to another WiFi access point and upload the data. This "data-mule" operation will be transparent to the user, which will be able to use his mobile phone as usual. Emails downloaded at the village will finally be delivered in the city.
