Radio France International (RFI)
Noah Samara grew up in Ethiopia, but fled the country with his family in his teens due to mounting political violence. He studied satellite technology in the United States, and embarked on a successful career in that field. But a newspaper article about Aids in Africa changed the course of his life. It inspired him to create the world’s first satellite radio, Worldspace. He talks to Imogen Lamb about the challenges he faced, and is still facing, to reach the listeners he thinks Worldspace could help.
I really enjoyed this!!! But I couldn’t get the book that changed his life when he was 19 years old?
Unfortunately worldspace is in severe financial crisis. Rumors have it the company is about to shut down anytime soon
The whole country is in financial crisis. Actually the whole world is in dire financial straits. So it is no surprise that World Space is feeling the global meltdown. I hope they recover soon for they are offering an invaluable service to the African continent and beyond.
Fana,
The book is The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Mr. Samara might be involved with Worldspace in some capacity but he doesn’t own anything there anymore.HE GOT PAID.
