I beg to differ with this article on very many fronts;

1. The internet has not just arrived in Africa, its been around for some time now,
2. There are no 1 billion people waiting to be connected and no billions to be made...

Its obvious that the person who wrote this article is ignorant about Africa. For you to harness
the kind of mass uptake of internet service that this guy envisions, you need to resolve very basic
issues like food, housing, sanitation, etc etc and basically put some money in peoples pockets before those unconnected folks can think of even finding out what is an internet connection. So it cant be like in the 90s
with the internet bubble, for now no billions, just people like us here who will just view your website, make rude comments and leave.....

True.. however just like in developed countries - the bubble can still burst; 

With factors like low purchasing power and later competition from copy cats ... etcetra
