Reviews
“. . . will make a major impact on the way we understand the development of telecommunication in the African continent. Ghana is a very useful case since it has been called ‘a model society’. . . . Dr. Osei-Mensah has written with enormous intellectual breadth and sensitivity to the issues of telecommunication, he is skilled as a scholar and a writer. . . the book deals directly and concretely with the difficulties of implementing telecommunication technology in a nation that is developing its economy. . . . The fact that Dr. Osei-Mensah, trained in communication and experienced in the political and administrative world, has taken on this challenge and succeeded in doing such a brilliant job of research and analysis is quite remarkable. I am sure the work will have a long future.” – Dr. Molefi Kete Asante
“. . . this research work is invaluable. . . can be used as a reading material for upper level undergraduate and first year graduate students in communications, telecommunications, African studies, and international mass communications.” – Dr. Edward Wonkeryor
