Africa’s Cloud and Content Evolution
Africa’s cloud and content market is still very young however there has been a huge increase in usage over the last couple of years, especially in 2020. This talk will focus on key infrastructure initiatives which have occurred to keep many African countries online during 2020 and beyond.

NaMeX Marketplace: ServiceDB
IXPs have always been informal local points of reference between ISPs looking for services and ISPs (or DCs) that can provide it. Servicedb.net is a portal, neutrally managed by IXPs, that gives information about wholesale service available in the Italian DCs. Is it a new possible rule for IXPs? Can it also be a valid model for other countries?
