My name is Steve Song. For the last 2 years, I’ve been lucky enough to have a fellowship with the Shuttleworth Foundation to work on telecommunications and access issues in South Africa. Prior to joining the Foundation, I spent 10 years at the International Development Research Centre in Ottawa funding and engaging in research into Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) issues, mostly in Africa.
This blog covers a variety of issues that interest me from telecoms in Africa to Open approaches to just about everything, to understanding in general how our lives and livelihoods are being reshaped by telecommunications and the Internet.
If you’d like to get in touch with me, please indulge my SPAM paranoia and fill out the contact form.

P.S. A long time ago, in 1994, I drove a motorcycle from Cape Town up to Cairo. That’s me on the right in the blog banner a few minutes after arriving at the pyramids.
