Ian Pringle and MJR David wrote about Kothmale Community Radio and “Radio Browsing” in their chapter in The One to Watch. According to the authors: “The elements that make Kothmale stand out in the field of ICT projects are the ‘marriage’ of internet with local community radio and the innovation in raising rural community awareness of ICTs that this convergence has allowed.”
