摘要

非洲境内的每一个信息渠道都受到限制。有限的预算导致电视台很少制作自己的节目，并且充斥着廉价的美国进口节目——这些进口节目往往与当地的文化价值观相抵触。图书制作因制作成本高而变得复杂。以美国的标准来看，计算机数据库行业是微不足道的。万维网为信息获取开辟了一个新的论坛，但高昂的电话费使其变得复杂。

Information Access in Africa: Problems with Every Channel

Every information channel within Africa is restricted. Limited budgets cause television stations to produce few shows of their own and to fill airtime with cheap American imports-imports that are often at odds with local cultural values. Book production is complicated by high production costs. The computer database industry is miniscule by U.S. standards. The World Wide Web opens a new forum for information access, but is complicated by high phone charges.
