[governance] How cooperation could be defined ?

[Dominique Lacroix]

Dear McTim,

I'm going to answer also to a former post where you said that you saw 
how Isoc makes great efforts to help developping countries, in the field 
of capacity building and GIX creation.
I beg your pardon. I could not find time enough to answer earlier.

Please, don't understand what I'm saying as a personal reproach. A big 
part of my family was colonial actors in Vietnam at the beginning of the 
XXth century. I can insure that the most part of the colons were 
absolutely sure that they were helping the country where they were living.

US IT companies do have great interests in the growth of the African market.

After all these efforts to help African countries to get into a 
connected way, how is it that Africa connected people number is 15,6% 
compared to 78,6% in North America?
You can verify the stats there: http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats1.htm

It's not incompatible with a handful advanced countries, some great IT 
companies and a lot of excellent researchers.
Plethora of graduates is actually a sign of contemporary "underdevelopment".

Did you ever try to subscribe an Internet connection at an African ISP? 
Or to buy African domain names?

Send me 693 EUR, I'll buy for you a mctim.cg. Sorry, mctim.cd is 
cheaper: only 115 EUR.

@+, cheers, Dominique
