East Africa gets broadband: It may make life easier and cheaper | The Economist
THE Horn of Africa is one of the last populated bits of the planet without a proper connection to the world wide web.

This has kept international phone calls horribly overpriced and internet access equally extortionate and maddeningly slow.
