A meeting of International broadcasters with an eye for a future Pan African network. Participants came together to discuss the potentials and growing opportunities on the African continent, presented by the digital revolution. I attended the meeting on behalf of the Deputy Minister for Science and Technology, J. Makamba, who was to be one of the panelist. The meetings was optimist with the fast pace of changes in the African media scene. They spoke on the immense untapped opportunities to deliver a digital future. Most importantly stay tuned to African Satellite Broadcasting Corporation (ASBC), a new initiative aimed at delivering a free-to-air television service to viewers throughout the continent.
