Is the web your window to the world? Or are you struggling to connect?
BBC News is preparing a series of reports from Africa – asking if the arrival of high speed broadband internet will make any difference to people’s daily lives.
Are you in Africa? Do you use the internet to work, play, or talk to your family? We want to hear your experiences.
Tell us – do you feel connected? Or are you held back by slow download speeds and expensive costs?
In particular, we are looking for:
Musicians – are you able to promote your music online?
Schools - are your pupils connected? Or are they struggling to get online?
Nigerian model with cell phone
Do you surf on your cell phone?
Farmers - do websites help you grow your crops, and your market?
Students - are you able to study for qualifications online? Or is the web too slow?
Business owners – how does the internet help you expand and make links?
Tourist operators - does the internet help you attract visitors?
Sendyour stories. Or if you can – why not send a video clip? Show the world why the internet is important to you.

I have been thinking about this for a while. Has the growth in internet penetration affected farmers, students, buisness owners, workers in CSOs, students and so on. Here is a chance to have your say. This chance can be used by telecentre practitioners, community foundations, Civil Society Organizations, Public Access Centers like public libraries and so on. Please visit the BBC and send your comments.
