Now that the big boys at ITU, Geneva have finally seen the light and are working with/through AfriNIC, I hope our  local boys (unfortunately, I never see the girls at CCK-top-level :-) will finally receive and pick the signal sooner rather than later.

I have always argued that to break into the Internet governance system, you got to do it from within the existing frameworks.
