The Internet has become the prevailing media for trade and information in industrialized countries, and many projects are working to bring it to poor parts of the world, but not Sub-Saharan Africa, even though it would make free trade possible and information a common good.

The concept is a low-cost Internet café for rural Africa that consists of a single standard PC with 10-20 terminals attached. Users share software, expensive processing power and all maintenance is centralised to a single unit. Each terminal includes a screen, keyboard and a pointing device, uniting all peripheral components in a cheap robust unit. For a quick learning process, the user is presented with a full screen browser window interacting only with the basic Internet functions.
