[AfrICANN-discuss] African telcos call for innovation

[Michelle Opiyo]

I agree with Badru, transaction services can really go a long way towards driving local content generation. I think literacy in the African context, in terms of on-line transactions, is the ability to follow the instructions and achieve one's desired output.

Very interesting. However it looks like most Telcos will be dragged
kicking and screaming into the reality since its note easy to give up
ones cash cow in an unpredictable economical environment.

One biggest catalyst to this expected transformation is the power of the
transaction services which the authors seem to have down played. I
believe this is going to be the biggest driver which will stimulate
localisation through online shopping in local languages to counter the
literacy challenge. Here again we need to clarify literacy. What does it
mean in the African context ?
