I don't have to go to through such nightmares to go on line here. Infact, everywhere, has no free wifi hot spots almost everywhere. Libraries,schools, coffee stores, hotels, car repair shops,rest areas and the list goes on. When I read all difficulties Ethiopians go through to glance the information Highway In Ethiopia, I thank God, I don't live there. I feel sorry for young people who go to colleges in such country though. They've no clue, the internet they pay for are almost free in developed countries and timely infos are at the finger tips of youth here. Education is power, that power is on information highways and for poorest nations such as Ethiopia, its wise to leave information high wide open for youth to learn, as much as they can in speeds that produces resouceful youth. Give youth free access to computers and servers, where education begins. I love freedom I take for granted here in the west. I don’t have to go to through such nightmares to go on line here.

Communication means a sharing of ideals and communality. These are not desired, and go against the current program if dividing a nation my region, tongue, and tribe. If we all speak with one voice, if we all see with the same eyes, then we will all know of the crimes committed.

I was in Ethiopia recently. It is true internet cafes in Addis announce for their customers that they have broad band internet connection. But the fact of the matter is that you hardly notice the difference from a dial up connection. Little surprised, I went to the ETC office under my "kifle ketema" because that is what you are supposed to do for inquiries, go to your zonal adminstrations branch, may not be a bad idea if it helps for better service. After about 1 hour in the line up, mostly with people complaining about technical problems, I was directed to the gentleman responsible. I asked him about terms and conditions and what kind of services (speed, pricing, etc.) I am going to get if I want to subscribe for the broadband connection. His answer will shock you. First of the broadband is only for businesses not for individual personal use, and second, the broadband speed is 1.2mbp (probably 1/10th than we have here) and third, the price is 3600ETB per month (close to US 300). I don't think one can believe that. Many businesses I talked to said that the system is overloaded and it is more time than not they get connections at all. You think about the power shortage on top of that. The system is simply next to nothing. Very sad! I was in Ethiopia recently.
