Perhaps the biggest obstacle to the emergence of a new generation of African film and television producers is the high cost of air-time. Most African cities still only support a few television networks (largely because of the reluctance of governments to permit more). And even these few networks often do not broadcast many hours, even in the capital (and even less hours in rural areas). A new technology is available – from a Silicon Valley startup named Qik – that permits real-time broadcast over G3 cell phones such as Nokia’s N95. Amazingly, these video-equipped phones can stream video live over the Web. While people so far have thought of the technology as a way to broadcast live events, Qik could also be used (and this is my idea to inexpensively broadcast pre-recorded material – or live music or theater performances – thus permitting artists and media creators in African to bypass a television network system that imposes unaffordable high “taxes” on them. The Qik technology is getting interest from both professional media and citizen journalists such as Ground Report . The chief technical officer and cofounder of Qik is a former Oracle engineer from India named Bhaskar Roy. Africa remains on the periphery of Qik’s radar but Bhaskar is enthusiastic about the socially-conscious and developmental benefits that the technology might deliver. He envisions an army of streaming-videomaniacs, using t ...

Stephen Hawking, who has devoted his career to discovering the origins of the universe, has made the journey to South Africa to join some of the world’s leading high-tech entrepreneurs and scientists who have backed the £75m plan to create Africa’s first postgraduate centers for advanced maths and physics, after the British government declined to provide funding. “The world of science needs Africa’s brilliant talents and I look
forward to meeting prospective young Einsteins from Africa,” said
Hawking. Hawking will be joined by eminent physicists and mathematicians
including two Nobel laureates in physics, David Gross and George Smoot,
and Michael Griffin, the head of Nasa.
Neil Turok, founder of the project and professor of mathematical
physics at Cambridge University, where he is a close colleague of
Hawking, said the aim of the centres was to “unlock and nurture
scientific talent” across Africa. Tags: Africa , einstein , talent ...
