Comment Internet Access in South Africa (Score 5, Interesting) 357
Hi Mark,
This is a question combo suggestion.
I'm a programmer from South Africa, working in the Bay Area.
I had dialup Internet in South Africa already in 1994. However since then not much has changed. In fact Internet access is appalling. Its very expensive compared to the average income of middle class, and ISDN or ADSL is just too expensive and at the same time pathetically slow.
Internet access is really holding our country back! I believe it is critical to schools and families to have access to better Internet.
As a South African entrepreneur and someone who is successful in the IT world, have you ever given this problem any thought, or considered starting an initiative to provide better access to the Internet?
