I am happy with your work. I am trying to develop a tool that can benchmark University Internet Network in Nigeria. In my literature review, I want to see what other Universities have done. And also how similar tools are been developed. Can any advice be given to me concerning the project? I see that you compared the countries, that shows they were common indicators to aid in the comparsion.

@Frederic – I’m not sure why you had such a hard time with this video. I wonder if YouTube would serve it up differently than the normal embed does on my blog. Could be that, or could be just a bad connection.

Hello, I am in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire and i could watch the video without it stopping or freezing, as a matter of fact I frequently visit sites such as Dailymotion, Youtube,monocle,current Nba.com where I watched videos with no problems most of the time… I have a Adsl connection.

YE HASH, its good to get some irony towards solving such a problem otherwise when we get too serious we might feel disabled already. The digital villages in Kenya could as well increase connectivity than just a few dots here and there in the movie. It is a plan even Google should look forward to. great opportunity.

@connectivity – I was laughing at some of those comments too. There’s nothing like a little irony…
