All -

Mike Jensen has once again synthasized the current available
data into a new report for the World Economic Forum -
see: http://tesla.uoregon.edu/~llynch/ICT-africa.pdf

link costs are not clearly stated, but telephony & internet connection
data are listed seperately by country.

the bibliography has some additional pointers and some of the hard data
seems to come from this site:

http://www.africanconnection.org/actdb/business/stepone.cfm

the full (global) report info is here:
