Rwanda: High-speed internet for Africa

A United Nations-backed Africa communications summit in Rwanda next month will seek to boost high-speed internet access to match the continent's explosive growth in cellphones, officials said on Wednesday. The 'Connect Africa' gathering of African political leaders and international investors to be held on 29 and 30 October 2007 in the Rwandan capital Kigali will be a networking opportunity, not a forum for negotiating new regulations, they said.
