Staying connected to the world outside Africa will remain key for the
development of Africa. But it is not as easy as we expect. Yes, mobile
phones are growing at a rate that shows that Africa uses technology in new
and innovative ways – just give us a chance and we’ll show you the business
opportunity. But why are we still so disconnected on the broader ICT wave
swamping the world? We will only fall further behind if we don’t address
this sooner rather than later. No more time to waste. More on this in my
