rior de 10,000 kilómetros concebido para
facilitar a conectividade do ICT a nivel do
distrito no pais, mesmo para ligar paises
vizinhos cercados de terras sem acesso
ao mar. A rede poderá tratar das necessidades de raiz do ICT (a nivel das aldeias).
Também promoverá a participação dos
cidadãos na busca de informaçoes e disseminação especialmente nos casos de
e-ducação, e-saúde, e-negócios, e-agricultura e e-governo.

Conclusão
Durante as últimas duas décadas,
Tanzânia testemunhou progressos significantes na mídia. As recentes realizações em radiodifusão digital e desenvolvimentos de infra-estruturas em ICT
e telecomunicaçoes são um aumento a
estes desenvolvimentos.
Porém, o desejo político parece ser
um retrocesso ao progresso suave destas iniciativas. A menos que os socios se
comprometam na realização do que eles
começaram, a aclamada mídia na Tanzânia enfrenta decepção em 2012.
