[Kictanet] Fw: [DigAfrica] How broke company won tender

[alice at apc.org]

Brian,  I think it was clear that your reference was to the conclusion 
arrived at by the author of the article.
But you do bring into light certain aspects that the author left out which 
is helpful in understanding the situation.
However, I think, it would be even more helpful if journalists could go the 
extra mile to explain the mechanisms/structures of the industry being 
reported on and allow readers to make the mental exercise of jumping into 
conclusions!


thanks
alice
