The "Connect Africa" summit concluded today in Kigali with commitments to create the right regulatory environment from African leaders and pledges by private-sector leaders to invest in the continent's communications sector.

Some 1,000 participants -- including six African Presidents, executives of information and communications technology (ICT) companies and heads of international development banks -- convened in the Rwandan capital to devise ways to improve Africa's information and communications technology infrastructure, especially in relation to Internet broadband connectivity.
