The 2012 edition of the Nigerian DigitalSENSE Africa (DSA)
Forum series on Internet Governance for Development (IG4D) has been slated to
hold in March between 8 and 9 at its usual venue, Golden Gate Paradise,
Ikoyi-Lagos.
The Executive Director, Operations at DigitalSENSE Africa,
the organizers of the forum, Mrs. Nkemdilim Nweke said that the March date was
taken after adequate consideration on other industry events billed for this
year.
She also said at the weekend that already, stakeholders have
started taking space of participation in the two-day forum, which prepares
Nigerians and stakeholders alike on the importance of participating on the
global Internet Governance Forum (IGF).
According to her, the previous three years have seen the
Nigeria DigitalSENSE Forum series recording resounding success each year and
serving as a roundtable for discussion of Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) issues with particular reference to Internet Governance
(IG).
She said that this year’s forum theme would be on ‘Internet Governance and
Mobile Economy in Nigeria.’
Highlighting the importance of the theme, Mrs.
Nweke said that with the licensing of some companies by the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN) to operate mobile money, it has become crucial to explore this in
line with laws of the land and relevant regulations in comparison with the
global best practices.
She further said that the fact that these licensees tend to
drive their services to Nigerians based on mobile networks already existing
makes it imperative to create more awareness on the subject and how it would
affect Nigerians and Internet community in the country.
Mrs. Nweke confirmed that the two-day event would hold at
the prestigious Golden Gate Paradise, Ikoyi-Lagos with several speakers already
filing in for the event both offshore and within the country.
She, therefore, enjoined notable Internet Service Providers
(ISP), Value Added Service (VAS) providers, network vendors, telecom operators
and mobile money operatives and consumer groups to take active part in the
forum.

Thanks for the info. I don't have an iPad 2 yet, but played with one and love it. Unfortunately, they're completely sold out of stock, but I'm hoping to pick one up soon (I prefer the black one) and this info will come in handy. Business Web Hosting
