Abstract
The presentation provides maps of various telecommunications networks in Southern Africa, along with planned linkages. The UbuntuNet Alliance plays a central role in addressing challenges of regional leadership, the shortage of skilled labour, and the limited understanding of the multiple roles and benefits of research and education. UbuntuNet presents some strategies and priorities for the upcoming timeline (2009-2013).
