It's not that it's impossible to build out high speed access, it's just that our governments are being run by idiots. And that's putting it nicely. I've learned quite a bit about problems and possibility that lie ahead in alleviating this problem in my article on Project Diaspora (http://projectdiaspora.org/690) Tribalism, Nationalism, "Corporatism" are killing innovation in East Africa. Development in ICT is dead on arrival if we can't get the government fat cats to work together and see the broader picture. The only people losing out are us!
