Over the year, AfrISPA has gained global significance by her work in lobbying for liberalisation of the telecoms market in Africa backed by efforts in establishing ISP Associations and the building of Internet eXchange Points as part of Africa's Internet Infrastructure. Much progress has been made in the understanding within policymakers, regulators and political leaders as it was enshrine in the World Summit on Information Society’s Plan of Action that "governments should facilitate the establishment of national and regional exchange centres”. All of these happened under a virtual institutional structure for AfrISPA and going forward this posed a risk to the scaling of such efforts. . |

This presentation was made to the Africa Grantmakers Affinity Group http://www.africagrantmakers.org) and Grantmakers in Film + Electronic Media http://gfem.org), the aim of the presentation was to show how the African continent has been able to become connected to the Internet in a relatively short period of time, tracing some of the successes as well as obstacles to more robust connectivity. The article highlights some of the current efforts to further connect the Continent to itself and the world. It is also the belief of the writer that there are a number of these “homegrown” African efforts using mobile and Internet technology that should not be overlooked as resources by those concerned with African development and investment. |

From humble beginnings, Voice over Internet Protocol is growing rapidly to be a force to be reckoned with. However, the technology and implications are frequently misunderstood and unnecessary regulatory barriers are placed in the way of the use of this technology. This is particularly the case in Africa.
