Africa would establish its own internet exchange point in Gambia to avoid costly fees paid to overseas service providers, said an African Union (AU) internet expert



The African Union Commission had decided to finance the African Internet exchange programme, one of whose major projects was the Gambia exchange point, Xinhua quoted Moses Bagingana as saying.

He said Africa needed to find ways of optimizing internet traffic in the continent and boosting Internet connection with other continents.

Bagingana said the internet exchange program would encourage regional trade integration, and create various opportunities for Africans.

AU leaders have adopted a declaration to strengthen national and regional broad band infrastructure and build up the Gambia internet exchange point.

Nothing good about it, sorry....why not in Nigeria? 
My dear, it's been sponsored by the Chinese Government, they want to use it to launch themselves as new world power...by then, we will be worshiping the Chinese. Make una wake up....

That is why Xinhua is reporting it cos xinhua is interested in any news that concerns China, they control every news information from the country

Rubbish….  it won’t work…  without Fiber-optic communication installed all over the place in Nigeria & others you’ll not have optimal service…. All involved just want to make money. I am assuming the exchange is based on wireless technology.
