Ethiopia has made a strong committment to broadband technology in education committing up to 10 percent of the GDP to creating access and providing hardware for schools and government access to the internet:

Most secondary schools have now received the huge plasma-screen televisions that will soon display internet-streamed MPEG 2 digital video, including instructional films and quizzes. In the meantime, the screens are used to show recorded lessons broadcast over the country’s TV network, but the internet-based system will allow teachers greater flexibility in the way they use their high-tech teaching materials. With TV broadcasts, everyone has to go at the same pre-determined speed, but streamed lessons can be paused or fast-forwarded, allowing the teacher to repeat information for struggling students or skip ahead for those who are doing well. It will also let teachers see the material in advance and plan lessons to make best use of it, instead of going into the broadcast blind.
