Sustained low bandwidth prices are a function of volume. Volume is a function of technology + cost. Traditional satellite technology (which is what most of Africa uses to reach the Internet) is far too pricey as it is. Projections for the next several months show those figures moving upwards. With regard to in-country bandwidth, "opening up the streets" and letting folk (in a controlled manner) *create* bandwidth will drive local loop costs down. That's half the battle, right there. Mark.
