...only the start of Boroffice's ambitious plans. A communications satellite designed to give even remote villagers access to the Internet is scheduled to be launched next year, and a second observation satellite is planned for 2009. To make the space program self-sustaining, Nigeria wants to sell excess bandwidth to other nations; a United Arab Emirates-- based company reportedly has already signed a $250 million deal. "I'm very passionate about space technology, says Boroffice, 57, a former biology professor. "I see what it has done in India, and I want to do the same in Nigeria...

The prevalence of illegal downloading on a college campus should be as unacceptable to universities...
...Still, the industry faces a host of technical obstacles.
