Knowledge, Culture & the Internet in Africa: a Challenge for Political Economists

Summary

ICT in Africa forms the base for industries to help develop profitable opportunities. This is difficult to achieve in Africa because in order to establish an 'informational economy' ICT Africa needs infrastructure, hardware and software.

In order to support a successful economy Africa needs to be able to support a networking and communications system that is compatible with the rest of the global economy in order to produce and function along side its global competitors.
