The Internet community pays tribute to Dr Tarek Kamel. The Africa Internet community and the global Internet community will miss him. A moment of silence in remembrance of Tarek #ICANN66

@blongwe @tap_chine @RIAnetwork Definitely content does stimulate uptake. The @AfterAccess survey has shown that lack of affordability of devices and services are the main inhibitors of Internet use. Content is rather a second generation problem while affordability is rather an access problem. @RIAnetwork

Latest Policy brief: Zambian Data Prices fall by more than 70% but Internet use remains below 20% @RIAnetwork researchictafrica.net/2019/10/29/zam…
