UGOTRADE

Ugotrade will be a global internet reality show - an off beat cross between, "The Apprentice," and The Discovery Channel's, "Going Tribal." Ugotrade will bring on grid folks - innovative technologists, social entrepreneurs, bloggers, broadband video pioneers, and other www2 stars - together with off grid pioneers as they reinvent global trading from the back of a yak, a canoe on the Amazon, and a houseboat in New Orleans. Ugotrade's aim is to evolve Dr Yunus' Nobel Prize winning model of micro lending into investment in local wireless communications.
