Dr Rebecca Harding runs Coriolis Technologies, which provides data to the trade finance sector, and assesses the likely impact of the move. Also in the programme, a new law imposing a registration fee of $900 on bloggers in Tanzania is putting off a lot of writers in the country. Elsie Eyakuze has just suspended her blog called The Mickocheni Report, and tells us why, whilst Ben Taylor, who runs a blog on Tanzania from Britain, explains his offer to host Tanzanian bloggers from his own site if they are having problems.
