[AfrICANN-discuss] News Release: Community Networks Key to Connecting Africa, says Internet Society

[Betel Hailu]

Hi everyone- 

 

Today the Internet Society published a Press Release highlighting that Community networks are key to connecting Africa: a recent survey identified 37 community networks initiatives in 12 African countries, of which 25 are considered active. 

 

The Internet society in partnership with the Association for Progressive Communications(APC) and Zenzeleni Networks is holding the third Africa Community Networks Summit in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.  The Summit aims to promote the creation and growth of Community Networks, increase collaboration between community network operators in the region, and to provide an opportunity for them to engage with other stakeholders including content producers, regulators and policymakers.

 

Find out more about the Internet Society Community Networks Campaign.
