High speed internet in Africa
A high speed internet cable has come to Kenya, and, according to FP, we should see a lot more coming soon. I hope Kenya will be sharing: the desperate state of satellite internet in Uganda needs the boost.
I am a consultant with the World Bank in DC and a recent PhD graduate of economics at the University of California, Irvine. My research is on conflict and post-conflict development, and the economic impact of the environment and environmental change. I am currently working on a randomized impact evaluation for the World Bank in the post-conflict area of northern Uganda.

"No," Einstein answered. "Why should I memorize something I can so easily get from a book?"

Even in Uganda there are satellite tv providers. Impressive.
