Yes

A white pickup pulls up on a busy street corner. The passenger door opens. Cash and a package are exchanged. A traffic cop approaches. The driver hurriedly starts the car. I flash a smile and say a friendly hello. He stares briefly, says hello and moves on.

Contraband? Though the feeling is akin to that of having received a substance long denied and hard to find, it was a modem that was delivered by an MTN sales rep, Carol.

We are happy and rather excited to announce that this blog post is transmitted wirelessly via a small modem (that fits in one's palm). It hooks onto any machine that has a USB port and can transmit and receive data anywhere where there is a mobile phone network (belonging to MTN). Neat, don't you think?

Next week, the modem will travel to Buhugu. We can't wait to blog live from home-base!
