Wireless in Africa: The Westerners think very differently from the Southerners

2 pointsby drethemadrapperalmost 10 years ago
&quot;The westerners want things don&#x27;t for them, but the southerners get things done by themselves&quot; My Quote||Anonymous<p>I am shocked that a project like the Ibadan Wireless Project(http:&#x2F;&#x2F;villagetelco.org&#x2F;2013&#x2F;02&#x2F;ibadan-wireless-user-group&#x2F;) isn&#x27;t gained so much traction despite being the first of its kind in West Africa. The brains behind it should be commended. Such projects are thriving in Southern Africa with wireless groups like the Cape Town WUG, the Gauteng WUG, NamWug, Soweto WUG e.t.c. My only inference is that such projects have gained traction in Southern Africa because of the demography of people there.
