       STATEMENT BY AFRICAN ELECTRONIC SERVICE PROVIDERS

             Statement made at the closing session of
             the Addis Ababa Conference on Telematics
             for Development in Africa.

                   Addis Ababa, April 7, 1995


It is with great pleasure that we have seen the importance of
African telematics raised during this meeting. We hope that
the result of the symposium will be to raise the profile of
Africa in global communications and to get more of Africa
online.

This statement is signed by service providers who speak on
behalf of their 10,000 electronic mail users in sub-Saharan
Africa.

o      Donors and member states should recognize the key
       contribution of existing service providers and it is
       strongly advised that they consult and support these
       systems in the implementation of new initiatives.

o      These functioning local initiatives should be recognized
       both as independent systems as well as examples of
       successful donor projects.

o      All new initiatives should take in a sub-regional
       perspective.

o      New initiatives should be made with a view to providing a
       transitional path between existing levels of service such
       as dial-up store and forward systems to full IP
       connectivity.
