And where does community radio fit in?

Happy to add some comments about how (radio) broadcast and mobile are working together in West Africa in ways that I think may be of interest in Easy Africa too. Take a look at some of the videos I collected at the Africa Gathering in London. www.vimeo.com/5050313 or www.vimeo.com/4417995, www.vimeo.com/4106116 and in other places around the world. The future of broadcast in Africa is closely connected to the future of mobile.

Community radio

1) comments and ad-hoc contributions during the talk, e.g. such on Community Radio, will be very welcome.

Community radio does in fact come in - e.g. the Sengerema Mesh that we ll talk about is linked to the Sengerema FM radio station.

Lots of synergy between FM, mobile and IP networks.
