[Kictanet] Fw: [alac] Africa Position Paper on Internet growththrough content

[Muriuki Mureithi]

Would be interesting to know what mistake 'they' made in North America in
1960s and how this addressed it.
The desire by AfrISPA is not just more bandwidth but use-value for internet,
relevant content addresses the use-value of the internet as illustrated in
the paper
