Tomorrow will see the world’s first commercial 4G mobile network here in Stockholm. In the beginning, it is expected that speeds will be around 50MBps and grow  to around 80MBps. TELIA is currently the only operator offering it ( http://www.telia.se/4g )

With 4G, users will be able to watch live HD videos using their mobile broadband.

In my view, less connected countries like those in Sub-Saharan Africa might gain by investing in 4G wireless networks instead of spending their limited resources on outdated wired networks that come with other challenges especially when trying to expand them.

By building 4th Generation networks, African countries would be able to combine services like TV, Phone and Internet and all this using an easy to deploy wireless system. Being a new technology makes it expensive but I sure am that, with time, it will become affordable.

Muri Suwedi hari umwongereza wakatiwe igifungo cy’imyaka 15 kubera ko yaryamanye n’abakobwa benshi kandi abizi ko arwaye SIDA. Muri abo bakobwa (bagera kuri 15), babiri nibo banduye iyo SIDA bayitewe n’uwo mwicanyi wamenye ko arwaye yanduye kuva mu 1992.

Mu mategeko ya Suwedi, ni icyaha gihanirwa n’amategeko kwanduza umuntu indwara ubizi kandi ubishaka.
Ku mugabane wa Afrika yazahajwe na SIDA, mbona ko byagira akamaro cyane gushyiraho ingamba zibuza abantu kwanduza abandi. Mu Rwanda ndabizi ko hari itegeko rihana uwanduje umwana ariko niba mbyibuka neza nta tegeko rihana uwanduje umukuru. Birababaje cyane kuba umuntu abizi ko arwaye indwara idafite umuti ariko akavuga ati singomba gupfa njyenyine reka nisasire n’abandi.

Si ubwa mbere muri Suwedi umuntu urwaye SIDA ahanirwa kwanduza (cyangwa kubigerageza)  kuko hari umugore umwaka ushize wahaniwe kuba yaramaranye imyaka myinshi n’umugabo we yaramuhishe ko yanduye SIDA ndetse bakanabyarana abana. Ariko ku bw’amahirwe uwo mugabo ngo ntiyigeze yandura.

This should be a lesson to all African leaders whose ideas are hardly known. We are in the digital age.

Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran has a blog that he (himself) updates. He uses 15 minutes every week on it (reading or posting). It is accessible at http://www.ahmadinejad.ir/
I remember some months ago when the Blog of the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs (and former prime minister) caused controversy. This was mainly due to journalists who don’t know if the ideas on the Minister’s blog should be taken as views of his Ministry or not.
Also, the prosecutor launched an inquiry into whether the Minister breached the law when some hate comments passed several days on his blog. This was about Anti-Palestian comments posted by some visitors (readers) of the blog. Under Swedish law, such comments should be removed by the blog maintainer.

Let me hope that African leaders in general, and Rwanda, my country, in particular will in the near future set up blogs where they post regularly and let us “Baturage” post comments, suggestions and questions. That way, they will make sure that they have something interesting to blog about. And those who pass months without any post will have given a clear idea of how well they sleep at work.

Umunyamakuru wo kuri Televiziyo yitwa TV4 yo muri Suwedi yarutse mu gihe yari ari gukora ikiganiro cya tombola kuri televiziyo. Yagize isesemi kubera ko atwite ahari
