<p class="MsoNormal">The FCC in the US recently created the Open Internet Rule, the EU (28
countries) is almost there with the Digital Single Market and individual
countries are busy debating this major issue on the future of Internet. I know
some countries in Africa are busy on this too. However, despite there being a
host of African partners in the thisisnetneutrality network (including
KICTANet), none but two African countries have been featured citing ‘Research
Pending’. This also happens with other indices like the Freedom House’s
Internet Freedom Index and Amnesty’s. This is one area research institutions in
Africa can fill up. </p>
