refer you back to the just concluded Summit in Kigali - Transform
Africa2013, I am sure most of you followed keenly, physically and
remotely.<br><br></div>One of the very many topics for panel discussions was coined as: "<b>Developing Smart infrastructure: Developing Ubiquitous, Secure and Sustainable ICT Infrastructure"</b> I must say the discussions were led by eminent panelists!<br>
<br></div>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.<br><br></div>my 2 cents<br><br></div>Bob Ochieng.<br></div>ICANN.<br><br></div>
