Features
25.08.2005 Internet traffic on the African continent will soon be travelling shorter — and, therefore, cheaper — routes. Transtel, one of the largest private telecommunication network operators in the southern hemisphere and a division of Transnet Limited was a successful bidder. The other was a joint bid from Africa Online, a pan-African ISP, and Sky Vision, a leading provider of international Internet services over satellite and terrestrial fibre optic systems.

23.08.2005 Quand, dès l'âge de la maternelle, des enfants s’assoient pour la première fois devant un ordinateur équipé d’un logiciel en kiché, leur langue maternelle maya, les leçons dépassent de loin la maîtrise de connaissances élémentaires en informatique. Les élèves apprennent que leur langue et leur culture autochtones occupent une place essentielle dans leur société.

20.07.2005 Le trafic Internet du continent africain prendra bientôt des itinéraires plus courts et, par conséquent, moins onéreux.

Ce printemps, l’association des associations de fournisseurs d’accès Internet africains, AfrISPA, a fait connaître les deux soumissions gagnantes qui ont été présentées dans le cadre de sa demande de propositions pour fournir des connexions Internet directes entre les pays africains. (L’établissement de ces connexions s’appelle « échange de trafic régional entre homologues »; les sociétés qui assurent ces connexions s’appellent « exploitants régionaux ».)
