ICT does not need Aid-Hamadoun Touré

From This is Africa ICT can stand on its own two feet:

In October of that year ITU held the “Connect Africa Summit” in the Rwandan capital, Kigali. The meeting brought together governments, the development community and, crucially, international investors, to discuss issues such as broadband infrastructure development and enabling policy. Over 1000 participants attended the meeting, which resulted in investment commitments totalling $55bn, to be spent over five years.
“Connect Africa was a big success,” says Mr Touré(SG of the ITU), stressing that much of this pledged investment is from the private sector, both domestic and international.
“This is money that the private sector wants to invest and make a profit, not give out to anyone or spend as part of corporate social responsibility.”
