    Hello everyone. Sorry to be late. Greetings from Mauritius

    Un des freins au développement de l’internet en Afrique est l’insuffisance d’infrastructure d’hébergement, ce qui freine le développement de sites web et de contenus locaux. Les datas centers mettent du temps à se mettre en place. Existe-t-il des initiatives dans ce sens envisagées par les instances de gouvernance d’internet comme ICANN, poussées par des entités  comme  l’Afralo  ?
