The mesh network is intuitive and absolutely deprived of any form of manual configuration; it allows to easily transfer documents and information, to play, “chatting” and even to use the same internet connection of any other laptop in the proximities: a tool to socialize and to share resources. Also if the new laptop won't resolve the numerous problems of Africa and all the developing countries, it can certainly lend a hand. Figure 5-38 The OLPC's laptop from $188 • Wi-Max is not a definitive standard yet and still costs a lot. • Satellitaire technology is expensive. • Some changes have happened on the regulatory plan. [A05] Government’s involvement in broadband has been growing in recent years. The deployment of broadband infrastructure is more contingent on local context than narrowband (dial-up) has been. As the relevance of broadband internet access to

By involving local government and thereby indirectly the energy sector, PLC applications can make a valuable contribution towards the provisioning of broadband and at the same time generate the necessary revenue to bring about economic growth. 5.4.6.3 Conclusions [A41] PowerLine Communications or PLC technology holds high potentials for the development of African telecommunication and broadband markets. Utilizing the infrastructure of our energy networks PLC can contribute to the development of Information and Communication Technology availability and adoption in several ways. • Firstly, PLC may reach areas without other fixed line infrastructure and provide telephone and internet access to remote areas. In this context it is very likely to be used together with other alternative platforms such as fixed wireless or satellite broadband (very diffused). • Secondly, PLC may help to provide alternative operators with a more independent means of connecting end-users by offering an alternative to the incumbent's copper network. In this context this will aid our continent to develop infrastructure competition which increases innovation, lowers prices and leads to higher levels of penetration. • Thirdly, PLC may assist operators to distribute last mile connectivity through fixed wireless or fiber within high-rise buildings. In this context operators may use parts of the existing electrical wiring instead of deploying new and costly structured cabling. • In addition PLC supports our energy utilities by allowing them to more efficiently manage and operate energy distribution. Accordingly this will contribute to creating an economically viable business case for PLC operation. PLC hence presents a concrete opportunity for Africa both regarding broadband market dynamics as well as economic and citizen driven politics. Although Africa has not yet
