The MOSAIC 2B project aims to unleash business opportunities for micro-entrepreneurs in rural areas of South Africa by providing them with entertainment and educational media content. For this purpose, the cinema-in-a-backpack kit is able to receive and screen media content and operate a small business. Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) is used to transfer the content, cost effectively, from urban areas to recipients in the rural areas. The mobile cinema is the use case for DTN and the facilitator in creating micro-enterprise opportunities for local entrepreneurs. This paper presents ethical challenges and implications that have to be addressed in order to connect rural communities in South Africa and provide them with cinema experience.
