Show me the money ... (Score 1)

While this is probably a good idea, I have my doubts about the financial returns of web-enabling Africa. The few countries that can afford high-tech projects are somewhat unstable, while the remainder have much more pressing needs than internet connectivity (you know, famine, disease, war, death ...). Perhaps if we train them here to bootstrap themselves to the 21st century, we might see better return on the project.

On another note, I am surprised and dismayed at the amount of juvenile bigotry present in the previous posts. While Africa certainly has a metric assload of problems, they certainly do not rate the vituperation and calumny I am seeing here today.

Jeez.
