Well spoken...... the challenge is in connecting the rural communities
and the people at the bottom end of the pyramid. Government also needs
to take responsibility to manage the appropriate distribution of this
'water'.
This takes time, but i remain positive. No too long ago, the
Netherlands government stated that a computer and internet
connectivity were considered essential for all people.
Yes, you can stop.

Hari,
i am in no way a doomsday prophet,
however the eassy cable and other under sea optic fibre cables will
only solve less than 20% of our current Internet problems.
Similar cable efforts in West and Southern Africa, have not
significantly changed their fortunes.
The advantages of the EASSY cable are obvious, however having a big
Lake, like L. Victoria (or is it Nalubaale) does not automatically
translate into piped water, to the people of Uganda. Countries in
deserts are actually better off.
can i stop here
