Which comes first, the Chicken or the Egg? In a country without electricity, what good is Fibre-Optics cables? Unless the West is playing another cruel joke of shipping Freed Slaves back to Africa to "spread liberty" across the dark continent. 200+ years later, how free have gullible Africans been without the West's say so, the same way the cable can be turned on or off like light-switch just to soothe their capricious ego. LoL!
This is good news for Liberia but corruption will stiffle its growth and development. Information Infrastructure development is capital intensive and if the government doesn't fight corruption with action and support Liberians entrepreneurs in this field, it will only be in the hands on foreigners. If Liberians have to bribe all government officials just to get a licence to operate, it will not work. Ask the construction contracts who said that they had to paid government official in order to get loans and process paper work. As a results, the roads were never completed and the president blame them for not doing their jobs.
