● « Many in sub-Saharan Afr ica have skipped direct ly to mobi le devices. And while Africa, like other emerging markets, has been slow to embrace cloud computing, it is starting to take off here, with tech experts touting the cloud’s big and perhaps unseen potent ial . »
● Cloud computing may in fact prove ideal for Afr ica, where there is l i t t le t radi t ional internet infrastructure, unrel iable electr ic i ty gr ids in many areas — making on-site storage impractical — and an ongoing boom in business and developmentSrc : Erin Conway-Smith November 7 2013, http://www.globalpost.com
