"The History of the Internet in Africa" by Dawit Bekele, ISOC.
The Internet Society has created the History of the Internet in the Africa section of their website to" give an overview of the current status of the Internet in the continent as well as compile the defining
moments and people that were key to this process. This is also a means to remember and document the history behind the Internet in Africa so that the contribution of the pioneers is not forgotten."
