In five year, my expectation

Submitted by kenawesley2002@... on 1/23/09.

In five year, my expectation is that most people will access news via radio. Many years ago, it seemed a luxury but most people can afford transistors radio and even listen to the news in remotest parts of West Africa. the phone revolution in Africa has brought about unprecedented change in the region but again cell phone operator are yet to addres the question of accessibility. How many of our people can afford mobile phones even at the cost of $20 or $25. We are still far from there. There are Chinese-made intermediate technology radio sets - that operate manually. I am hope of some progress on the radio front in five years time.
