The mobile internet plays a crucial role in driving the digital revolution in Africa, opening the doors to a range of opportunities in areas such as economic development, education, health and training. With the rapid growth of mobile device penetration on the continent, more and more people are exploring new ways to make the most of the digital technology at their disposal.
Although Internet and mobile device penetration is on the rise in Africa, the issue of adequate Internet access remains a struggle, especially in rural areas of the continent.
The slowness of mobile Internet represents a significant obstacle to productivity and innovation, limiting the growth of companies and enterprises that depend on digital platforms for market access and efficiency. Furthermore, it directly affects education and health, given the growing dependence on digital solutions in these areas.
