微软试图通过卫星将互联网带给非洲数百万人
在美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)主持的与非洲领导人在华盛顿举行的峰会上，谷歌表示将立即启动卫星项目，优先考虑将互联网首次引入埃及、塞内加尔和安哥拉的部分地区。
在美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)主持的与非洲领导人在华盛顿举行的峰会上，谷歌表示将立即启动卫星项目，优先考虑将互联网首次引入埃及、塞内加尔和安哥拉的部分地区。
微软总裁布拉德·史密斯说，公司在内罗毕和拉各斯的工程师给公司留下了深刻的印象。
微软表示，在与卫星供应商Viasat的合作中，它还将在危地马拉、墨西哥和美国更偏远的地区提供互联网服务，并在尼日利亚和刚果民主共和国加大力度。
史密斯说，互联网接入的最大障碍是缺乏电力，对大约一半的非洲人来说，电力不可靠。
史密斯说:“对于那些不去那里或不花时间思考非洲的人来说，他们甚至很难想象，因为在我看来，电是19世纪最伟大的发明。”
“当你想到宽带在美国，如果没有电，你无法以任何速度上网。”
他说，微软专注于在没有互联网和电力的地区寻找低成本的解决方案。
Smith表示，他看到非洲对互联网接入的广泛支持，并表示许多政府在放宽监管方面已经超越了西方国家，因为非洲大陆没有像过去那样拥有“特别的许可制度网络”。
史密斯说，政府部门的领导人通常是有行业经验的非洲人，“所以他们知道企业是如何运作的，也知道政府是如何运作的。”
这一最新举措是微软Airband计划的一部分，该计划旨在到2025年底为2.5亿人提供互联网接入，其中1亿人在非洲。
联合国国际电信联盟的数据显示，尽管发达国家和一些主要新兴经济体的互联网发展迅速，但全球仍有29亿人(超过三分之一的人口)从未上过网。

<\/figure>Washington: Microsoft<\/a> announced plans Wednesday to bring internet access via satellite<\/a> to 10 million people, half of them in Africa, as part of efforts to bridge a digital divide with the developing world.At a summit with African leaders in Washington led by President Joe Biden, the technology leader said it would start the satellite project immediately with a priority on bringing internet for the first time to parts of Egypt, Senegal and Angola.
Microsoft president Brad Smith said that the company has been impressed by its engineers in Nairobi and Lagos.
<\/div><\/div>In Africa, \"there is no shortage of talent, but there is a huge shortage of opportunity,\" Smith told AFP.
In the partnership with satellite provider Viasat, Microsoft said it would also provide internet in Guatemala, Mexico and more remote parts of the United States and also step up efforts in Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Smith said the biggest holdup to internet access has been the lack of electricity, which is not reliable for around half of Africans.
\"For people who don't go there or don't spend time thinking about Africa, it's hard for them to even to imagine that because electricity in my view is the greatest invention of the 19th century,\" Smith said.
\"When you think about broadband<\/a>, you cannot have access to the internet at any speed without access to electricity,\" he said.
He said Microsoft was focused on finding low-cost solutions in areas where both the internet and electricity are absent.
Smith said he saw wide support in Africa for bringing internet access, saying many governments have leapfrogged over their Western counterparts in ease of regulation as the continent did not have the same \"extraordinary web of licensing regimes\" in place from the past.
Ministries are often led by Africans with industry experience, \"so they know how business works and they know how government works,\" Smith said.

<\/div><\/div>\"Even in countries where we may find more authoritarian challenges, I think it's more likely that governments are going to want to control what's available on the internet rather than its availability,\" he said.
The latest effort is part of Microsoft's Airband Initiative, which aims to provide internet access to 250 million people, 100 million of them in Africa, by the end of 2025.
Despite rapid strides in the internet in developed nations and some major emerging economies, 2.9 billion people, or more than one-third of the world, have never gone online, according to the UN's International Telecommunication Union.
