but I am being told that Lagos is the center of Africa by such knowledgeble persons who claim that there are *gasp* thousands *gasp* of cyber-cafe's in Lagos. I mean since there no thousands cyber-cafe's in the entire US, I am sure presence of thousands of them in a rather small city means it is *the* center.
a cybercafe != the centre of a continent! wake up. there are many cyber-cafe's in south africa too. sometimes as many as 12 in a single street. but i'd not call south africa the centre of a continent just because of it. each country is different. each country brings with it it's own regulatory framework, incumbent telco of varying degrees, etc. judging any continent on a single country is extremely closed-minded.
