My presentation at TOC Frankfurt (tocfrankfurt.com) on 13 Oct 2009. I've changed the title of the talk to refer to southern Africa, since that's what I can be confident about – though I hope much of what I say can be generalised, with care, to other developing countries. The full text of the presentation is on my website at http://arthurattwell.com/blog/1-tech/65-pub-tech-in-southern-africa
