1. Answering to the request of the tribal people themselves. We don't go around 'selling' the idea to them. Usually they only need a place near them from which to contact their friends in the next village. The equipment doesn't necessary need to be anywhere in sight to disturb their way of life.

2. Getting enough funding for the project to get off the ground. As with anything ones you have money its much easier to get more. Getting off the ground basically means having the minimum equipment and surveying information to make a test setup for the most demanding link expected and getting that to work in civilization first.

3. After the system has been tested a more detailed proposal and cost estimate can be made to satisfy the more stringent funding sources which will provide the bulk of the funding.

4. Setting up the first actual on-location working system requires at least the following: two links consisting of transmitters, antennas, towers or masts, cabling, solar-power source packages, routers, computers and misc. bolts&nuts. You also need tools, a spectrum analyser, walky-talkies and a hamradio set, harnesses, helmets, first-aid packages, food, cooking, camping and survival gear, the freight costs for all of this, and insurance, travel and living costs for the volunteers.

5. Ensuring the continuity and viability of the project by training the people to manage and repair the system by themselves and helping them to acquire a source of continuous funding for maintenance without compromising their way of life.
