Wireless is thriving in Africa, with innovation there “an amazingly positive story,” said FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn in remarks on African Immigrants Heritage Month, posted by the commission Tuesday (http://fcc.us/1yxYj0o). Communications in Africa is an “American dream,” Clyburn said. “Among the many nations, there is a young consumer population that has grown up with wireless devices and a yearning for connectivity to the world,” she said. “There is a thriving entrepreneurial spirit that is driving innovation and new products.” Clyburn said Americans shouldn’t forget that Africa produces “much of the raw material that makes communication and computer hardware devices actually operate.”
