Hi All, especially AFRISPA folks, Comments on your "strategies for increased internet growth" report from ALAC ICANN members alice ----- Original Message ----- From: "John L" <johnl@iecc.com> To: <shahshah@irnic.ir> Cc: <alice@apc.org>; "ALAC" <alac@icann.org> Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 5:21 PM Subject: Re: [alac] Africa Position Paper on Internet growth through content
Well it isn't so clear that a statistical study was done. This seems to be a call by African ISPs for what they consider important. They may be advocating more use of Internet for educating and informing, or a call for 'content' may just mean a desire for more 'bandwidth'. Further, because so much of email is web-based, it is hard to differentiate.
I can't tell from the report what they consider important either.
I just hope they're not repeating the mistakes we made here in North America in the 1990s.
