[kictanet] Egypt & Tunisia - tipping points

[robert yawe]

As we call for twitter and facebook organised demonstrations to force 
governments out of office lets realise that this populations had reached a 
tipping point, as they say "the straw that broke the camels back".  

We therefore need to be careful about assuming that just having the tools that 
were available to the civilians in Egpt and Tunisia are sufficient for a mass 
uprising.  

Using the same analogy in the ICT sector just having high speed internet and 
accent neutral english speakers shall not cause a revolution in the outsourcing 
arena.  The failures at attempting to replicate Silicon Valley are more than the 
successes so lets find our own vehicle to leverage ICT.

Regards

PS.  Apology's for the error with my post on airtel and Zimbabwe it was Zambia
