Africa: mobile phones are Africa's PC

White African sees mobile phones as the primary tool for web access in Africa: “Ever since I first heard someone mention that mobile phones were “Africa’s PC” I was hooked. I still am. My most recent trip to East and Southern Africa has done nothing but confirm my thoughts on the mobile platform as Africa’s connectivity device.”

    The bridge between the mobile phone and the internet is key. We have now launched a pilot project doing just this. We have given a number of African reporters a mobile phone. They are now in the process of making video, photographs and text reports that they can publish on the AfricaNews website with a push of a button.

    See some examples and let us know what you think!
