Who pays for this blog? I receive no fees, considerations, etc. etc. for the posts on this blog nor do I have any plans to accept any. My salary is paid by Canwest Global Communications Corp. I work for that company as the Ottawa-based National Affairs Correspondent for Canwest News Service. The blog publishing platform used here is called Blogware and it's developed by Tucows Inc. of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My use of Blogware should not be taken as an endorsement of that company. Like all Blogware users, I do not pay any fees for the use of this service. I participate in program. Google pays me some money and, for that, I give Google some space on this site to display ads. Google sells those ads and Google, not me, decides what advertising content you are seeing. I do not filter these ads and take no responsibility for them. Readers should not assume I endorse any of the products or services advertised here. If you think other disclosures are appropriate in this space, I'd like to hear from you. All of my contact details are always at www.davidakin.com You can read more about this section |
Re: Digital Divide: Not quite as advertised?

As someone who is working on the bridging the 'digital divide' in Africa (did I just say that?), I'd have to say, 'duh'. I recall when my buddies returned from Somalia in '92, they were telling me that almost every Somali with a car had a cell phone, back in the North, I had only seen one on television... The truth is that the digital divide does not exist between the developed and undeveloped world, it exists between the poor and the rich in the developed world. From where I am sitting now, I can see kids who will never have a chance to use the internet, they will be lucky if they can read a book. Ian Howard, from Mali
