===== Outside Links and Credit =====
This site was inspired by, and dedicated to, the many ranting and raving conversations amongst the technorati of Africa.  It was finally decided that **someone** needed to put a site together where people from could jump in and leave reports on costs, service levels and availability of the (usually subpar) phone and internet services that we receive in Africa.
