Those who are interested in finding out the latest information about
electronic connectivity with Africa should try this new Web-service:

countries do have Internet (TCP/IP) access already (those marked with an
asterisk in the following list, quoted from this Web-page).

Editor's Note:
As Randy Bush's very informative list is quite
long and may be redistributed only in its
entirety, it is not attached to this post so as
not to overtax the limits of some H-AFRICA
subscribers's mailboxes. Those interested in
the subject are encouraged to order the list
using the directions above.
