[kictanet] Smart Infrastructure: TransformAfrica2013

[Bob Omondi]

Dear Listers,

Allow me to refer you back to the just concluded Summit in Kigali  -
Transform Africa2013, I am sure most of you followed keenly, physically and
remotely.

One of the very many topics for panel discussions was coined as: "*Developing
Smart infrastructure: Developing Ubiquitous, Secure and Sustainable ICT
Infrastructure"* I must say the discussions were led by eminent panelists!

But it is interesting to note that the critical resources of the Internet
(Domains, IP - Addresses, AS numbers) continue to elude many people as part
of the entire ICT infrastructure. Not many people gave this a thought, yet
Africa is lagging behind in the uptake of some of these resources. It is
widely assumed that Infrastructure is limited to Broadband Infrastructure!
We need to step up this awareness as and industry.

my 2 cents
