Fascinating. Over the past few years we¹ve seen so many different models crop up in countries in which virtually no legacy infrastructure existed that was worth protecting, and that has allowed those countries to blaze past most Western nations in terms of availability, ubiquity and speed.
We often debate on this list maybe often is a strong word the relative merits of government involvement versus the idea of a ³level playing field,² and in Somalia it appears they have the best of both: neither a set of incumbents to curry favors nor a government to grant them. I¹m sorry if I¹m late to the conversation, but I¹m curious to see what people think.
