My experience has been that neither streaming nor downloading are all that common in most of Africa. The most common distribution mechanism for digital media are small shops that sell digital content to be loaded on a BYO micro SD card (for phones.)
Bandwidth is too expensive and unreliable for streaming to be all that popular. That said, I am streaming music on Rdio while Debbie watches Netflix next to me - in Johannesburg. -- Charles On Mon, Dec 16, 2013 at 6:48 PM, Udhay Shankar N <[email protected]> wrote: > What do 1980, 1989 and 2003 have in common?
