Dilemma Over ICT Convergence
This made me chuckle a little:
"Without a secure and reliable Internet, Rwandans will continue to be reluctant to provide confidential information online, such as credit card numbers."
The thing is that practically no one in Rwanda has a credit card. These people have nothing that an identity theif would want.
This article talks about the importance of Internet privacy in Rwanda. This is interesting to me because I think that most Rwandans don't have a concept of online privacy. I didn't meet any people while I was there that would complain about the current system. Most of the time, they feel fortunate to have any Internet connection at all.
