bridges.org has a case studies on Busy Internet.

BusyInternet (BI) Accra is the largest technology incubator in Africa. It provides businesses and the public with affordable, state-of-the-art information and communication technology (ICT) services, customer service, and a social environment that promotes technology use.
The fun part for me is that I was in Accra while Busy Internet got started, and actually helped Mark and Alex with some minor technical issues in the months before they were set to open. The project is way high on my cool approach to development, mostly because it is NOT reliant on traditional development revenue, yet still manages to be an important asset to the development of a Ghanaian IT sector. GeekCorps also uses the excellent settings (I haven’t actually seen them after opening) to give free ICT classes with their in-.country volunteers.

  3. Le message est pour monsieur Alex Rousselet, l’un des fondateurs de Busy Internet. Monsiuer, mon nom est Bia Domingo. Je suis à Montréal, Canada. J’ai été très emballé par votre centre internet à Accra, et je crois que ce genre d’initiative devrait être applaudie et soutenue par les gens d’affaires africains. J’aimerais avoir plus d’informations sur un futur partenariat. je vais rentrer au Congo-Kinshasa incessamemnt et j’aimerais vous rencontrer soit à Accra ou à Paris pour discuter d’un projet similaire pour le Congo. Le marché est encore plus important que Accra. Vous avez mon adrresse email. Encore merci et chapeau pour cette belle initiative. Bia D.
