Google Apps conquers ... Africa?

Google , according to a press release , has entered into agreements with the authorities of Rwanda and Kenya on the use of the Google Apps package of services in educational institutions in these countries.

Students at African universities can now take advantage of all the products within the Google Apps Education Edition. Like their American counterparts, students from Rwanda and Kenya will use these services for free. In addition, Google Apps will be used by the Government of Rwanda: the officials of this country also received a free version of the service package.

At the moment there are no accurate statistics on how many companies and organizations in the world use Google Apps. (You can read reviews of some corporate users here .)
