Wi-Fi Networking News: Nigerian Newspaper Explains Wi-Fi

Via Wi-Fi Networking News there is a link to this article in the Nigerian Newspaper Vanguard:

Unlike in other countries around the world, especially in Europe, Asia and America, where it is being used in homes and offices, Wi-fi technology has not yet caught on in Nigeria. This is something Cyber Cafes owners all over Nigeria should consider. A wireless network in a cyber cafe will give its owner a lot freedom in interior arrangement, where positioning of PCs will not be restricted by the locations of network points.

I have to admit that I don't normally think of African countries when I think of new technologies. However, some of these countries could be the largest beneficiaries of new networking technologies like WiFi. In a country that doesn't currently have a lot of wire-based infrastructure, WiFi could bring computer networks and the Internet to millions of people with very little upfront cost.
