Looking through this thread I have realised how naive the rest of the world's view of Africa is. There seems to be a tendancy to lump all African countries into a stereotype or perhaps even worse the total disregard of the fact that Africa is comprised of many countries. Yes I know there are many corrupt countries....... but it is not the norm..... in South Africa it is very irregular to bribe any official. In fact in my country we have a fully functioning isp, e-commerce and internet banking system. In a way it's like lumping Germany and Yugoslavia together in one boat or the States and Mexico. Maybe this bandwidth increase will educate the outside world to what Africa is all about.
