The way that they have color coded it presents a strong case, roughly only 12 out of 54 nations are liberal in this area according to what I am seeing on the map. I am very surprised to see that Zimbabwe is more liberal than S. Africa in Satellite communications Absolutely fascinating!

I was trying to make the same point that satellite coverage might be one way around the lack of landlines coverage here http://rakotomalala.blogspot.com/2007/08/need-for-africa-to-catch-up-in-world-of.html WRT that point, the information you shared is priceless.

Also <i>but restrictive telecom policies stop this from supporting Africa’s development.</i> Yeah this is going to be a problem. I hear one of the reasons land connections aren't developing is largely because of politics of this sort. I haven't done the calculations, but I still think land lines are going to be crucial, but satellite will go a long way for now. Way cool, I’ve been looking for a map like this.
