Online resources: Summary: This book argues forcefully and unapologetically that Emerging Economies must consider the Telecommunications, Media and Technology (TMT) as a single 'nerve centre' of their future economies, and offers a clear blueprint for its realisation. Dr Nwana has true pedigree and is a recognised and respected participant in the TMT world. His book provides hundreds of critical recommendations across contemporary TMT areas. This book is 550-plus pages of proven and practical know-how. Readers who want a hype-filled, superficial TMT introductory book should look elsewhere. On the other hand, if you want a comprehensive and realistic guide to TMT for emerging economies in Africa, Caribbean, Latin America, Asia, India, China and elsewhere, this volume is for you. Professor William Webb, FIET - CEO of Weightless SIG and President-Elect of the IET writes of the volume: "Making use of a high level of evidence and data throughout, the book is an outstanding blend of information on key areas of the TMT world, and how they can be applied specifically to the case of Developing Economies including Africa. There are not many books that offer the possibility of changing the world, but this is one of them. It should be obligatory reading for all those involved in this exciting TMT area".
