[Pal-dc] speech by SA deputy

[Monika Elbert]

dear all,
here is a nice summary of a speech by Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe about improving access to the Internet in Africa, citing some statistics and giving examples, and, - hear hear -, mentioning libraries!

Perhaps we can get him to come to our Baku IGF workshop, which has been approved by the way, on "Digital Inclusion and Public Access to the Internet: What Policymakers Need and how Libraries and Other Community Services can Deliver"? - just a thought:-)

all the best
Monika
