This document discusses the regulatory environment surrounding mobile phones in North Africa. It provides data showing that TV, radio, and SMS are more commonly used sources of information than the internet or newspapers in countries like Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia. It also outlines the attitudes of mobile network operators, who see voice as the main business but are starting to recognize the potential of data and content. However, it notes challenges around access to markets and ideas as well as issues of ownership and control over mobile platforms and distribution of content.

Mobile Phone Market
The mobile phone market has changed significantly over time. Providers were able to sign up 15% more customers for every dollar invested in infrastructure compared to only 5% in the past, allowing most providers to profit greatly. This growth in profit led providers to expand operations internationally. The number of worldwide subscribers increased dramatically from 14 million in 1990 to over 1.2 billion in 2005, with the largest growth in Asia and Europe. The document expresses a personal opinion that Verizon Wireless is the best cell phone provider due to its large customer base, limited dead zones, and fast growing 3G network.

How to Leverage Technology to Sustain Creative Initiatives and Promote Social...
The digital revolution is in full bloom and technology is being used to solve the world’s most challenging problems, yet traditional banking excludes many of the world’s poorest from taking advantage of the full fruits of the fi-nancial system. Especially in developing countries, implementing mobile fi-nancial systems can speed financial inclusion and spur economic growth. There is space for regulatory reform that addresses concerns with data security and consumer privacy yet does not stifle innovation. Throughout history, resistance to innovation has generally proved futile, and countries that refuse to change risk missing opportunities.

African broadcast and film has evolved from businesses, hobbies, or political patronage to a growing multi-screen industry. While traditional TV remains important, online platforms like YouTube and video on demand services are increasingly popular among younger Africans. As internet bandwidth prices fall, online video usage is rising. To succeed, broadcasters must offer local content, differentiate their channels through specialized themes, and distribute content across all platforms as audiences fragment. The digital transition will see more TV channels launching and coverage expanding beyond major cities via technologies like satellite and fiber optic networks. Emerging technologies like smartphones, tablets and high-speed LTE networks will further drive the growth of online video consumption.
See beyond realize the vision
The document discusses improving connectivity in Africa through increased telecommunications infrastructure and adoption of technologies. It finds that for every 1% increase in mobile or internet penetration, GDP per capita increases by $240 or $593 respectively. It advocates moving networks to an access-agnostic core and leveraging technologies like LTE and WiFi to boost data connectivity across Africa. Finally, it presents a Network Readiness Index to determine the recommended telecom adoption market size as a percentage of GDP for countries at different stages of network development.
Changing The Narrative Patrick Egan
The document discusses forecasts for the small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) market through 2020. It notes challenges faced by end-users in interacting with regulators and vendors. It argues that the technology community and businesses need to take more initiative to develop standards, best practices, and advocacy to help the sUAS industry grow and overcome challenges presented by regulators and defense vendors. The Silicon Valley region is positioned to take a leading role in this effort given its influence and resources compared to the defense sector.

Innovating Africa - Technology solutions for African challenges
Africa is experiencing strong economic growth and the rise of a large middle class. Over the next decade, Africa will likely contribute more to global growth than developed economies. Innovative solutions leveraging renewable energy and mobile technology are powering this growth by addressing critical needs. Solar lamps and chargers are improving lives by providing lighting and power while reducing costs, health issues, and emissions. Mobile networks are expanding access to the internet, financial services, healthcare, and more across Africa as data and mobile services surpass voice. This positions Africa for further prosperity and economic development driven by its growing consumer base and new technologies.

Finpro report south africa
South Africa's ICT capabilities are acceptable for Africa but not advanced. South Africa's broadband infrastructure is limited and expensive, and while business usage is moderate, individual and government usage is low. The government does not extensively use technology to drive social or economic impacts. The major telecommunications companies are moving into the IT services space and see opportunities in Africa, viewing South Africa as a competitive and mature market. New services are seen as a source of new revenue from digitalization and the IT services sector. Financial institutions are also building their digital and mobile strategies as part of internet and mobile banking initiatives.

Why the future of African journalism lies in mobile social networks
The document discusses the future of journalism in Africa and how it will likely lie in mobile social networks. It notes that while internet access in Africa is currently low and skewed towards wealthy urban elites, mobile phone use is growing rapidly. Mobile social networks and SMS can help foster more inclusive and representative conversations. For African journalism to fully utilize social media, media organizations will need to improve ICT infrastructure, develop policies, and form partnerships with ICT and development organizations. The future of African social media will be driven by mobile platforms more than desktop access.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
