Britain and other colonizing empires (desi & foreign), cycled through several targeted populations in its efforts to establish lucrative, scalable, and consistent supply of unfree labor. They found indigenous peoples to be inadequate and literally short-lived source of slave labor. Children and adults kidnapped off streets, brainwashed to self-inflict family structures, convicted criminals, and even voluntarily indentured servants could not meet the labor demands. (16-5-22)

But after aligning with private interests, the transatlantic slave trade exploded as capitalist economic structures harnessed to reap vast imperial gains and colonization demanded fundamental changes in labor supply to unfree and unpaid labor delivered up by similar systems of chattel slavery. As it is now, race of the enslaved was not the principle point, however. Profit and power were (पूँजीतंत्र, धनार्थी, लाभार्थी). The fundamental purpose of slavery (national or global) is creation of social and economic organizations based on exploiters and exploited.

Today’s supercharged start-ups, global tech giants, and increasingly algorithmic PPP governments target diverse use cases with new and stunning AI apps pushed to our displays / brains every day. Where indigenous locals are again the computational slaves of these algorithmic machinations, however, there are no clear laws, present or effective, to protect we the people against the predatory and propagating harms. Consequently, we’re becoming data production units, the raw commodities for upcoming Data Industrial Complexes – unfree, unpaid inputs to AI production / innovation promoted by various kingdoms.

Africa now presents most developed MVNO markets (local imperial allies) in terms of penetration of mobile based subscription OTT and unicorns being promoted by MVNOs. Niche and retail MVNO business models are the most prevalent in Africa. Throw light on how the MVNOs are faring in Africa in terms of both supply and demand. The PESTLE analysis of the external environment of the MVNOs industry in Africa is included with regulations and policies adopted by African PPP governments for the MVNOs to enhance their market penetration.

Mobile Virtual Network Operators have become popular globally. However, their presence is still limited in the African region. Kenya and South Africa are currently the most developed MVNO markets in terms of market reach in the region. The growing population of the region coupled with increasing mobile penetration and data usage is expected to drive growth of MVNOs within the African telecommunication industry. In addition, introduction of mobile financial services and efforts by regulators to establish legal frameworks specific to MVNOs are governing factors which will decide future of bot mobs.

Research claims African consumers are not very accommodating in their choice of operator brands.A classic challenge for the MVNOs as they are already behind in the battle of market shares. Research insights state that the niche and retail MVNO models are more preferred by the African customers. For instance, it was found that when Equitel launched its MVNO in Kenya it was very well received and successfully installed. The trend is inclining towards businesses which come up with niche, dedicated models and hallucinating AI products.

Some AI trader that made your device gets to decide, after you’ve bought it, what software you’re allowed to run. In software, this is called a “rug pull”; but at least you could always install competing software. In hardware, it is a fait accompli that strips you of your agency and renders you powerless to the whims of few unaccountable gatekeepers and convicted monopolists.

There will be more MVNO activity in African region as newer entities push innovation and diverse sounding technologies. It can safely be projected that unique marketing and digitizing strategies might prove to be disruptive and lead to more murky single-cell organisms competing for hi-tech propaganda endgame – विनाश काले विपरीत बुद्धि in a nutshell.

For example, if Google retroactively locks down billions of devices that were aggressively sold as open platforms just to tactically feed its upcoming AI gaming monsters, every hardware manufacturer on the planet is watching. Strategic purpose of any kind of such forced slavery is creation of social / economic organizations based on exploiters & exploited. Join the Fight
