Hari, thanks for the article, it made good reading, on the lighter side, it reminded me of a paper my colleague at MUBS presented at some conference. It was a very similar paper, talking about how Growth of ICTs like Radio, TV, Computers, are following the existing road network . In other words, his paper argued that ICTs are more accessible to the rich, as compared to the poor.
He had one of his worst conference experiences, as colleagues thrashed his paper, arguing that he had done little or no work. Because, what he was researching was pretty obvious. Reading the link you provided, i failed to find new knowledge. Research is supposed to produce new knowledge or at least attempt to do so. Back to your thread, you mentioned that the Cables are not meant for Internet Development, please educate me on the use of this eassy or teams under sea cables. regards > Hi Calvin, > > On 6/16/09 7:52 AM, Mugarura Cavin wrote:- >> i am in no way a doomsday prophet, >> however the eassy cable and other under sea optic fibre cables will >> only solve less than 20% of our current Internet problems. > > The cables are not meant to provide a solution to "internet problems". > The problems you are alluding to, relate to ICT development in general > and they are not unique to East Africa or Uganda for that matter. > > I invite you to read this paper on "Undersea Cable Markets and the > Developing World" > http://www.terabitconsulting.com/public/downloads/Terabit%20Consulting%20-%20Undersea%20Cable%20Markets%20and%20the%20Developing%20World.htm > > -- > Hari > -- The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like machines.
