Hi colleagues,
Just wanted to share this with you and invite you to subscribe to oafrica (if not yet) to receive updates about ICT in Africa. My friend Tim is doing a great job gathering all these at one place.
I want to specifically highlight this article about Facebook and free basics because i found it interesting in the debate about net neutrality and zero-rating:http://www.ictworks.org/2016/01/14/be-honest-you-hate-free-basics-because-its-facebook/
I will be happy to hear your thoughts!
Happy week start!
Arsene
