Telecom Africa
A major obstacle in delivering technology to developing countries is energy. Quite simply mobiles and computers need power but how can you get electricity to remote areas?

At the International Telecommunication Union鈥檚 meeting in Cairo 鈥淭elecom Africa鈥� leading mobile experts are looking for the best solution to this problem.

Digital Planet speaks to GSM Association who are trying to reduce the amount of power that mobile phone base stations use as well as finding novel ways of charging handsets.

On Digital Planet we often report on how technology is being used for healthcare and education programmes in developing countries.

Now, thanks to open source software, the first African Digital Arts Festival is being staged in Senegal.
