Is Slow Broadband Stopping Africa becoming a Major Tech Player?

Just to clarify, my answer is "No" to your question "Can we really compete globally without fast broadband speeds" and "Yes" to your question "Is Slow Broadband Stopping Africa becoming a Major Tech Player?" :)

Short answer: No!

I have always been of the opinion that this is huge task before us. I t's really amazing why the throughput on various broadband channels can not be any faster than it is now. Or wait, maybe they can, but here in a place like Nigeria, bandwidth (in terms of speed and capacity) has become the new means by which the various ISPs have found to milk internet users and customers
