KAMPALA, Uganda -- Losing Internet access is a Web geek's worst nightmare. So when 19-year-old Felix Kitaka ran out of money to pay for the pricey dialup connection at his Kampala home last year, the young software developer was distraught. Without Web access he wasn't going to be able to finish the Facebook application he was working on -- and even if he were able to raise the money to pay his overdue bills, he wouldn't be reconnected for weeks.
So Kitaka contacted Jon Gosier, an American who had just launched Appfrica Labs, a technology incubator in Kampala. After a brief meeting, Gosier invited Kitaka to work on his Facebook application at Appfrica's offices. Starting immediately.
