Africa Witness strong Internet growth
Just a fourth of Africans have access to the Internet, however, the region is seeing the most grounded development, as per the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU's) most recent insights.
Out of the blue, the greater part of the total populace will utilize the Internet before the finish of 2018. The ITU gauges 51.2% of the worldwide populace, or 3.9 billion individuals, will utilize the Internet this year.
Of all ITU regions, the most grounded development was accounted for in Africa, where the level of individuals utilizing the Internet expanded from only 2.1% in 2005 to 24.4% in 2018.
This speaks to an imperative advance towards a progressively comprehensive global information society. Nevertheless, many people around the world are still waiting to reap the benefits of the digital economy.
The continent needs more investment from the public and private sectors and creates a good environment to attract investment and to encourage technological and infrastructural development so that this digital revolution leaves no one unconnected.
In developed countries, slow and steady growth has increased the percentage of the world's population using the Internet, from 51.3% in 2005 to 80.9% in 2018. In developing countries, more sustained growth has shown an increase from 7.7% in 2005 to 45.3% at the end of 2018.
Many African nations are still way behind the race to digitalization, they are still struggling to fulfill their day-to-day needs, how can they access to the internet which costlier than their monthly income. The slow speed and extremely high prices makes internet a luxury that only riches can afford to have.
To change this situation Cajutel, a Guinea-Bissau based telecom company is building the much required infrastructure in Guinea-bissau to serve masses of west Africa with high speed 4g internet at very affordable costs. Africa needs more such project like Cajutel to remove the illiteracy and poverty, where people can access to better lifestyle and healthcare.
