“If mobile phone companies – or a similarly entrepreneurial entity – could begin building larger, more efficient power generating facilities, they could service local communities with power as well as with telephony… Wouldn’t it be remarkable if innovative wireless phone companies ended up as the key force to wire Africa for electric power?
